Old Wives tales

blaze1

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.

My missus preggers on our 2nd wasnt due for 3 weeks we had a thai curry that night she went into labour, so there might be something in that

Oranage2

Penicillin and whiskey followed by a metal coat hanger.

MagicMarker

Have you tried a plunger?

Blast it with piss seems to be a popular.
Give that a try.

admiralofthefleet

my missus had our baby right on his due date last sat, she had been trying -

raspberry tea
hot curry
long walks
howz your father
walking up and down the stairs
bouncing up and down on her excercise ball

give them a shot

El Weirdo

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.

Davidth88

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!

LeeHoffmann

No man should have to know that.

you'll thank me one day

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

biko

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

SeaFields

if she jumped up and down he might fall out?


Seriously OP good luck. Must be an exciting time.

Where To

Give her a jackhammer.

Frank Black

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.

Fingering her might induce one hell of a squirt

LisaLee

Michael McIntyre recommended raspberry tea and ingesting sperm.

VenusPlays

Honest to god having a quick shag is the way to go. I was 5 days overdue when I was pregnant. Had sex, went into labour 3 hours later!

Lando Griffin

Go to the pub for a few pints, relax forget about it and no doubt birth will start.

hondasam

What's the hurry OP, baby will arrive when it's ready. Sex will do the trick.

Capt'n Midnight

Bungee Jumping ?

dark crystal

As someone else mentioned, the exercise ball worked for me. I was 8 days overdue and bounced on the ball for a good half hour and went into labour that evening.

Saying that, it's probably all guff - the baby will come when it's good and ready

And don't some women do a number 2 while pushing or is that just something I heard on Scrubs which doesn't really happen?

Not sure about the sex. If was in my Mothers belly and a f***e kept pokeing me it would go back to the owner with teeth marks on it. Plus the fact that if I came into the world with sperm all over my hair, daddy would get a box in the mouth the first chance that arose. Sounds like the start of a beautiful relationship.:D

Yeah I remember hearing that last time around....

Just an update, still no movement :mad:

Davidth88

Time to get jiggy !!


Apparently making love , and the female orgasm releases Oxytocin . Anyone who has had a baby induced will remember the Oxytocin drip , and the way they up the dose every couple of hours or whatever


Good luck OP , let us know how you and the missus get on !!

She has only three days left now and they will induce her. It will be worth it.
Hope it all goes ok, you are not going to faint or anything are you?:pac:
Don't come on here telling us how wrecked you are after 8 long hrs in the hospital:p

Ha, if nothing happens shes booked in for next thursday...

I have been getting sympathy pains the hole way through. Morning sickness & heartburn.... I've never had heartburn in my life. She cant say i'm not suffering with her

I hope you get the labour pains as well, only messing, all you can do it hold her hand and put up with the tears/abuse she will throw at you.
As soon baby arrives she will love you again.
I know boards will be the last thing on your mind but let us know how it went.

btw I'm sure she knows you are suffering, what with all the complaining etc. wait til the night feeds start.

blaze1

Yeah shes really looking foward to the night feeds..

I used to be a very light sleeper & after the first I now have the abilty to sleep through tornadoes!

Robdude

Give her some Pitocin and problem will be solved.

LOL:D It's definatly a log..

blaze1

So as it turns out, after blasting with piss, holding the rusk/coffee up to her mooey, currys, walking, rasberry tea, painting (not a suggestion but she tried it)
baby blaze1 just didnt want to come out until today.

So I call shenanigans on old wives tales at this stage and would also like to break another "old wives tale"

Heartburn doesn't mean that the baby will have a mop of hair... The mrs has been in bits with it for half the time and the baby came out with less hair than me and that takes some beating!!

But to add to Black Francis's suggestion we didn't watch Sunshine so he could be on to something
