I like that idea. I remember that with DS I felt completely done and miserable the last few days before labor started. It was really hard but I think that is part of the "getting ready to birth" process.

I can sympathize. I am only 3 days past my due date and feeling really discouraged, tired and DONE. My first was born at 35 weeks so I have never been this PG before! I keep reminding myself that although it is uncomfortable and challenging, it is totally normal to gestate this long (and LONGER) and am trying to take it hour-by-hour. I also find it hard to muster up the energy to do much besides lounge on the couch.......maybe that is slowing the process down... but I honestly believe my body/baby will be ready when they are ready and there isn't anything I can do to change that. I've tried everything - lots of sex, EPO, nipple stim, walking.......still no organized contractions. It WILL happen though...for all of us!!!!!
