Yes disco, agree with the ladies above...walk..walk & walk some more? Have you taken child birth classes? They show you how to do squats safely using a yoga ball, that help with managing labor pain as well as making it easier for baby to find his way out :) But also different stretches and positions to sit with yoga ball that can help relax you, even if just 5% once labor pains kick in. Pray and make as much dua as you can. It'll be alright and once you have baby in hand, it will all be worth it.
You are in Uk right? You can call and ask your midwife or doctor if its ok to drink raspberry leaf tea. I asked my doctor in the USA and she said yes if I wanted to. Its supposed to bring on labor. I went into labor a few hours after I drank it.
hi dear! plz tell was ur bp normal? when did u start having raspberry tea? means in which month?

Hi, yes my bp was normal. I just had the raspberry leaf tea once. Baby's due date was 17th March and I had it on the night of March 12th, went into labor at 4am that is a few hours after having the tea. One should not have raspberry leaf tea early in pregnancy. I asked the doctor before taking it though, she said it was ok to take.
My baby was 5 days late too and it was hard time but you need to walk DD .You know I drank castor oil also I aske nurse and she said its a myth try it and it didn't help either. So just walk and MAY ALLAH help you and ease your labor ameen

aoa..how was ur bp normal..what did u eat throughout ur pregnancy...? all home made foods or from outside as well like kfc,pizza hut etc..? i had bp prob thats why went for c-sec...that was indeed terrible...
My bp was normal in both of my pregnancies. Infact on teh lower side in teh first one. Why it was normal? Well, it just was. I did eat bananas and cucumber and walked, things that are suppsoed to lower bp. Sometimes people do get hypertension of pregnancy (high bp) which is not essentialy related to eating outside. Though of course if you have high bp or develop it during pregnancy you should not take excess salt (outside food has a lot of excess sodium/ salt) and modify your diet. Don't blame yourself if you had high bp and did all teh right things.
As for my diet. i was terribly sick during both pregnancies, so faitigued during teh second one that if I got up to make the bed I fainted. I did eat a lot of outside food in the second pregnnacy as I could not tolerate any home made food, not even if someone was heating it for themselves, I would just go to the bathroom and be sick by the smell of it, even if i were on the top floor and closed all teh doors. The smell still wafted through!! Didn't eat KFC or pizza hut as I am in teh USA and teh issue of halal food was there with KFC, ate the fish sandwich from Mac donald's though. hated cheese during pregnaacy so no pizza at that time. I hardly ate anything in my sceond pregnancy. I did get borderlne gestational diabetis in both pregnancies though.
Get up off the couch and get moving! Taking long brisk walks can help bring on labor, and another tried and true way (if hubby's up for it) is a little lovemaking . Orgasm releases oxytocin, which brings on regular contractions - in the meantime, enjoy the full night's sleep, it's the last you'll be having for several months :)
My daughter was 2 weeks overdue and i was going mad with the wait. Eventually i was induced but it was all very straight forward once i was. As annoying as it just try it chill out...u'll have plenty of sleepness nights to come!

I think i omitted to mention that previous to the due date passing i have done tons of walking and activity. Everyone keeps telling me to calm down and rest but i was just so fit Alhamdulillah and in no pain etc.
Now i think its more like sod it, and feel sorry for myself on the sofa hehe. But i have for the last 2 days been up and out and about again going about regular activity coz i just cant be bothered...have to forget im pregnant.....otherwise it's just there, right there....
I do hehe get plenty of sleep cuz babe is too big to bother me now.
Reduced appetite though probably cuz of stressing out over kya hoga
