    So my mrs is overdue her baby 5 days now.

    So last night I got the curry in as hot as she could take it.

    (I did suggest a bit of nookie as they say that helps as well, I was politly told to fu off.

    So have you any other old wives tales to share or suggestions on how to get the baby out....

    I know this is AH and not the pregnancy forum btw

    Pineapple. Walking. LOTS OF WALKING.

    Shouting 'GET OUT FOR ****S SAKE' doesn't seem to work.

    Yeah, we had a good curry before my missus had our first.

    That and going for a walk.

    Sex is supposed to work too if you're into painting the baby's bedroom.

    Congrats!

    Might be a bit late in the day for sex...last thing you want is for you to get down to business only to have a little hand stick out and hit you in the balls!

    They reckon a warm bath is good for inducing labour.

    Best of luck!

    Yes very true I have heard many a disgusting tale about curry induced labour. But if you are into that kinda delivery it used to be bacon and cabbage with similar messy results.

    Other than that lots of nice warm not roasting baths and lots of exercise whichever form you wish to take.:D

    I find that the smell of freshly brewed coffee get me up in the morning.
    Hold a cup of java up to her "region"?

    My wife went into labour with our first while watching 'Sunshine', the Danny Boyle movie in the cinema.

    For our second we didn't watch 'Sunshine' the Danny Boyle movie in the cinema and she ended up having to be induced.

    You may draw you own conclusions.


    and good luck.
