I was just about to post this question! I'm at 41 weeks, 1 day. I've tried spicy foods, walking, scrubbing the floors on my hands and knees (a suggestion from DH's coworker) . . . Send me some labor dust, please! I wanna join you ladies with all your gorgeous outside babies!
In the 24 hours before labor started, I ate (almost) an entire pineapple, ordered chinese food, had sexy time , and walked a brisk 2.5 miles. Try that? Good luck!

I am!!!! Going back to OB to get checked and unless I go into labor my induction is a go for tomorrow at 42 weeks. I was only dilated a fingertip on Monday so I have my fingers crossed that I am at least 3 by now. If I am not it will be cervidil tonight first. I have tried everything this week to get things going -walking, spicy food, eggplant, even castor oil. Which by the way didn't even work as a laxative for me. I guess I am just a special flower( I tried it 2 days in a row so I am pretty sure it was a bust). I am sending labor dust out to all of you preggers ladies! We are almost there!

I tried. Gave it a good go. We both just feel so awkward now that I'm huge that we have hardly even fooled around since February.
Maybe I'll go pick up some General Tso's chicken for lunch. I need to get out of the house, anyway. The amount of time I've been spending alone, in my pajamas, is depressing.
I'm sorry you other ladies are still pregnant, too, but I'm also a little glad I'm not alone.
Aww - I'm sorry ladies! Sending lots of good labor vibes your way
Not sure if it had anything to do with it, but I took a nice long bubble bath the night I went into labor (my hips were killing me) and 5 hours later my water broke and contractions started.
I'm 41 weeks today. I'm going a little crazy. I have a mani/pedi this afternoon. I go to the doctor tomorrow and if no baby by Sunday we are inducing. I'm so ready for an outside baby. I want to meet this little person inside of me. Good Luck to you overdue ladies.

Me too. I haven't posted anything in a while because it seems like everything is about outside babies. I'm 41 weeks and 1 day but my doctor has scheduled an induction for Saturday (41 weeks 3 days). I've been walking like a crazy person though, and on tuesday I was 3 cm and 80% effaced so I'm hoping the induction will be effective. *fingers crossed. Good luck to the rest of you who are still pregnant

Well I just left the dr and I haven't made any progress!! I am so disappointed, and to top it off, he was going to send me in at 6 tonight and they were too busy! I have to wait till the a.m. I have to start with the cervidil so it may be a long induction. He also said that the baby look like it's 9 lbs 10 oz. He better be wrong- especially since Monday he when he checked the baby out on ultrasound and said around 8. Sorry for the vent, but I am super stressed. I am 42 weeks tomorrow and am ready to have this baby out!

Unfortunately, yes. And I feel like I'm starting to lose my mind. I've tried pineapple, sex, walking, primrose oil, and even acupuncture. Still no baby. He's a stubborn one I guess.
