Any suggestions how to bring labour on? Shes overdue by 1 day today but its doing our heads as we just want baby to arrive. Kind of feel like our lives are on hold now until she arrives then its going go crazy the next few weeks.
We had a curry last night but it did no good.

I was high as a fookin kite When she was in labour with our 1st, i just kept asking her if she needed anything from the car. She kept telling me no, then eventually said 'just piss off outside for a smoke if you want one then!' I was high a kite when i cut the umbilical cord. Greatest feeling in the world. Sadly i wont be able do that this time as i will be looking after our daughter. |

Upgrade to a vindaloo if she can bear it, and (this seriously worked for a friend) gentle star jumps. And sex really does work...
Good luck all of you xxx

First of all, I'd prolly write to the local party headquarters, then ask them for advice regarding membership. Then if she can get elected as a local councillor or even an MP, then she should be well established within the Labour party...
...Oh wait. ;D
(well, someone had to do it)

Seconding Vindaloo and sex. Years ago they swore by castor oil as well, though it can have unpleasant effects when pushing......

Push really hard on her stomach... I'm not a doctor or anything but I can't see how that could possibly fail.

Karma mate.
I can't believe I've just read all the way through a thread on the Oatcake with this type of subject matter and no-one's mentioned the brown wings thread!
Sex is the best method, if she's not up for it see if her best mate is

Well im still here pacing the house and keep popping outside for a smoke. If it is the beginning of labour, its very early stages but my missus reckons this could be it. I bloody hope so! Feel like a strong drink but im restricted to downing pepsi for obvious reasons Im very excited but very nervous too. Can you tell?! ;D |

I agree with Crashintome, i tried everything last year possible to get Harriet on her way but nothing worked!!! Although my sister had a Senokot when she was 5 days overdue and as soon as it kicked in she was in labour!! But i do believe they will come when they want, I`m dead excited forya and i don`t even know you lol. I wish i was going through all that again was the best experience of my life |

Beer, Curry and Sex is definately the answer! Get pissed! Vindaloo! Shag the bird you pulled in the boozer! Go home and give the misses a big sloopy kiss on the lips so she can taste the all of the above and bob's your uncle!!! |
