One more week to go. That’s all. I can’t believe we have 7 days until Flump’s official due date.
Today I am feeling very sore. I have pain in my ribs, hip, pelvis, back, you name it, it hurts! I got stuck in bed this morning as I felt as though my right ribs had been broken. I had to wake Matt to come and pull me up which caused a tremendous amount of pain. OUCH!
I’m trying to help labour along. I’ve bought clary sage oil which I am about to use in the bath and may use with some olive oil later for massaging. The birthing ball will be getting put to good use later on too. I’ve not had a lot of time recently for bouncing on it as with Matt’s birthday and other things going on, we haven’t really been home at night and by the time we have got home, I’ve just wanted to come up and lay down.
Wish me luck!

Debs,
Not sure what a birthing ball is for, didn’t have them “in my day”.
If you want to help labour along you probably know all the usual old wives tale stuff (all based on sound medical principles so I am told) – raspberry leaf tea, currys, lots of sex and nipple stimulation!! The only thing that worked for me – was a jolly good row with Andy, although I had good reason at the time as you know & I’m sure you have no reason – so afraid you will have to wait until nature, and Flump, decide.
Best of luck, see you soon, thinking of you
