No castor oil though. I may have to go out and get some tomorrow :) </p> <p>@tana_bk thank you! </p> <p>I love all the support from this community! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overdue#post-25762 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 21:30:08 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 25762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What an exciting time! I hope your labor starts naturally in the next four days. Good luck!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overdue#post-25736 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 20:45:42 +0000 Rosie Girl 25736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wife09mommy11: Have you tried all the old wive's tales? I am sure you have, but if you haven't done it yet, drink some PURE raspberry leaf tea. Like, from the health food store. It says to only drink like 3 cups a day max, but I DOWNED that stuff all day long, and went into labor on the 3rd day. Same with my nurse. It doesn't taste bad either :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overdue#post-25729 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 20:38:00 +0000 wife09mommy11 25729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks Ladies! </p> <p>@Andrea I have been done with work since 32 weeks so I am pretty much in the same boat you were. I fill my DVR with nonsense!</p> <p>@rosiegirl I am very nervous about the possibility of induction. I'm praying I go into labor beforehand. Plus I just want the experience of going into labor naturally. I got a pedicure with my mom yesterday and am definitely enjoying the quality time with my DH. Every time we do something together I say "This could be the last time we do X!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overdue#post-25712 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 20:23:26 +0000 Rosie Girl 25712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh! I will also add, enjoy it :) go out to eat with just your hubs. Watch movies together, cuddle, go get your toenails done. Enjoy your "you" time and time with your DH :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overdue#post-25711 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 20:22:44 +0000 Rosie Girl 25711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wasn't overdue, but I wanted to wish you luck! I hope that you go into labor naturally as I hear induction can be really hard. SO exciting though that you know that you will meet your LO in 6 days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overdue#post-25707 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 20:17:57 +0000 Andrea 25707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was 4 days over due and was laid off 2 months ahead of time so I was extremely bored and watched just about everything on Hulu and Netflix I could find. I tried to look on the bright side that being bored was a luxury I would not have for very much longer! Good luck!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overdue#post-25688 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 19:57:19 +0000 winniebee 25688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eeek good luck! No advice, but wishing you the best! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overdue#post-25685 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 19:54:50 +0000 wife09mommy11 25685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee It seemed as though every person we know thought we would go early too! I never thought we would but now people are acting like we are sooo late because they thought I would go early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overdue#post-25680 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 19:51:27 +0000 heffalump 25680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was on time. But everyone thought I'd be early, including the doctor. She kept telling me that she wouldn't see me at my next apt. So I still felt like I was just waiting and waiting.</p> <p>I did a lot of walking. I felt like that would help get the baby in position and try to help get her out. I just tried to stay as active as possible.</p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overdue#post-25671 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 19:46:37 +0000 wife09mommy11 25671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nycalimama and @mrs. d Thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overdue#post-25664 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 19:43:32 +0000 Mrs. D 25664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just want to pipe in and say good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overdue#post-25661 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 19:38:16 +0000 wife09mommy11 25661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ Mekarual Thanks! I am doing a lot of the same- baking, cleaning, laundry, walking.

Stocked the fridge, prepped her room, organized/cleaned our apt, etc... Had lunches/dinners/coffee dates with friends... Read up on natural childbirth... Went to prenatal yoga... and spent alot of quality time with my toddler since those were her last days as an only child!</p> <p>ETA: oh I walked a ton too to try to get things going and to stay active... I walked everywhere!</p> <p>Good Luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overdue#post-25659 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 19:35:34 +0000 mekarual 25659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was 5 days over.
