6 days overdue

Hi Ladies,

Any advice on how to stay sane would be appreciated. I am over due and I have tried everything! Acupressure, Acupuncture, nipple stimulation, walking, orgasm and homeopatic treatments. I'm still not in labour and my midwife starting to toss around the possibility of medical induction which I had last time and absolutely don't want this time. Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Maybe baby just isn't ready to come out yet. I know for me I was almost a full month overdue. I was due to come out Dec. 15 and came out Jan. 8 lol mom said she was ready to cut me out herself but she knew I'd come whe I was ready for it. If everything is going fine with the pregnancy and baby isn't in any danger I say just let he or she come when ready. You wouldn't force your child into something it didnt feel ready for or cumfertible doing once its out so why force it into birth?

I went six days over due with my youngest! I know how frustrating it can be but he/she will come when ready! I look at it as I may have been overdue, but when he was ready, he wasted no time.....I was only in labor for 1 hour and 20 mins!!!!!!!Good Luck to you:o)

He gets a terrible cough; he coughs all day and all night, making it hard for him to sleep, and his nose runs.I've tried every allergy medicine, OTC and RX, and none of them affect his...

I am allergic to Sulfa drugs meaning that my throat will swell up so my Neurologist put me on Topamax. I was suffering from major loud whoosing noises and the topamax helped that but everyday I still hear those mainly between 6 - 12 pm. I am at my wits end and have not went...
