Frustrations in the Final Days: Part II

I'm now 40 weeks + 1 day. I am absolutely shattered because I only got 3 hrs sleep last night. My anxiety levels hit the roof and I just couldn't get comfortable....aargh! It's amazing how the hours just tick away and before you know it, it's the morning.

So I decided to refocus the day on relaxing. I think this will be the key to inducing labour and ending these frustrating last days. I sat in a bath with lavender bath salts and a face mask. It did wonders for decreasing those anxiety levels.

I tried to get a nap on the couch, but I think all the chocolate I ate prevented any zzzz's from happening.

I've also started to eat pineapple, which apparently helps to soften the cervix. Unfortunately I think you're supposed to eat about 7 a day for it to have any affect, but I'll start with half a pineapple for today.

So, day 1 in labour induction attempts? A relaxing, warm bath and pineapple.

Now, just cross my fingers before I go to bed.


*A SILLY UPDATE*
All my efforts did end up working that day as my waters broke that night and I went into labour!!
