I know I'm still not really over due according to the ultra sound technician who said my due date was Feb 23. However I'm at the point where I have started to research what our options are. I really don't want to have to use drugs to induce my labour.

I've also heard that clary sage essential oil (aromatherapy) can bring things on, and also swinging. Personallly, by the end of my pregnancy my butt was too big to fit into a swing on the playground, but your mileage may vary. Good luck!
I tried all of those with Sophie , swinging was the most painful , it just happens when its supposed to happen .
They stripped my membranes with Mason who was three , that's right three weeks late , and it worked within a day , tried it with Sophie and she ended up having pneumonia at birth and a spinal tap hours into her life {from the introduction of bacteria into the birth cananl from membrane stripping} she came when she was ready two weeks late , not fun , try and be patient , no one is pregnant forever.
Sending lots of contraction/labour vibes! Let's get this baby moving! :)
ok, tell my neice she may make her entrance into the world sometime this weekend, by then the snow will be cleared from the roads and this gives you 3 days to jump, dance, laugh and cry her out!
xoxo
