My dd is 13 days past her EDD. She and her dh are getting worried. She is planning on giving birth at a birthing center with midwives. She told me last night that her dh is getting panicky about her ending up with a c-section and, well, he is thinking worst case scenario, since they had a friend pass away 8 hours after giving birth vaginally to her son. I assured her that even if it came to that, I had 3 c-sections, and was fine (still am).
She is just under a lot of pressure. Her mw's moved her edd from Dec 3 to Dec 8, so that technically makes her 8 days post dates? She is upset because she knows her lmp, as well as, conception date. However, way back at the beginning of her pregnancy she had a vaginal ultrasound that gave the date of Dec 8 (she was with an ob, then switched to the mw) She is happy they moved her date, but still very concerned that she is about to be 14 days past her (1st) edd.
On Friday she went to an acupuncturist that the mw recommended and had a treatment. He told her he has a 100% success rate. I want to say within 24 to 48 hours of treatment. Well, nothing! she's been walking like crazy and trying to do things that she cannot do with an infant to keep her mind occupied. Last night she told me she was doing visualization and hoping that relaxing her body would help her out.
Can we get ideas here as to ways to get this thing going before they send her off to the ob? (who btw, she has never met) I feel so bad for her.

BTW-this is her second pregnancy, her first came at 39 weeks. Her dh is on the way to Target to get some castor oil as I type. She is not sure if she is going to try it though.
