Discovered a new labour trigger...

In the last few weeks people have made / given all kinds of suggestions which may help to bring on labour, some of which are listed below:

Hot curry /food - Chilly flakes have been added in almost every dish I've made recently
Sex – umm certainly not top of your list when your 39 weeks pregnant!
Bumpy roads - trips in the work van have been a regular request!
Pineapple - new one to me but cant see that working tbh

<take 30 secs out...relax> k back again now..

Well today I discovered a new technique to bring on labour - attend a Speed Awareness course!

Yep, it may cost you 60 quid (but you don’t get 3 points), and you may have to spend 3 hours of your day listening to everything there is to know about the effects /dangers of speeding but in my case there was an added plus – the contractions kicked in.

That started this morning and its now 5pm, and they are coming faster & stronger which is why I’m sat writing this blog, Mr T says it will take my mind off the pain, ha ha that’s how much he bloody knows, see how much longer he keeps that up without me biting his head off!

Looks like we have a long night ahead, so I’m signing off to go read the instructions on my tens machine.

Next blog will be a good one! Wish me luck !!!

  1. Oooh ... fantastic.

    Lots and lots of luck x

    Hope that contrary to the advice on the Speed Awareness course labour is in fact speedy ... not to mention pain free (think I might be trying to convince myself as much as you here!)

    Kev and I will be thinking of you, hubby and Baby Tays.

    Can't wait to see a pic.

    HUGE heaps of the very best wishes ... Sue, Kev and Bibbidee x
