Ready to pop and so done at work

I'm so done and all around annoyed at work.  I'm due like any second and my boss just keeps giving me more stuff to do (like ongoing projects) even though he clearly knows I could leave at any time.  I am now on a mission to go into labor this weekend.  I DO NOT want to be here on Monday!  

Sex, walking, and all around not taking it easy are on my to do list this weekend. Any other ideas?

    Ask your doctor for a work release? My doctor asked me when I wanted to stop working.

    A pedicure! There is a pressure point near your ankle that can spur labor. I got a pedicure when I hit the point you're at, and 20 hours later, I was holding DS.

    I got a pedicure but nothing so far.  My OB thinks that you tend to have all of your babies around the same time and I had DD at 39.5 (DS was scheduled induction due to IUGR) so hoping it in the next few days.  I have contractions all the time but they never get worse really.  I'm probably going to have to have the talk about inducing tomorrow when I see by OB just in case I need a backup plan.  

    I'm really just still at work because I would be bored at home and I get exactly 12 weeks so if I start it early, I won't have as long at home.  I'm just annoyed that I am still here!!! UGH COME ON BABY!

    I worked July 23rd and was due the 27th and couldn't take it anymore. Had sex the night of the 23rd and my water broke the next morning! Hope you go into labor soon :)

    I got a pedicure and a prenatal massage and my water broke not even 8 hours later.

    Still pregnant.  Thought I was in labor yesterday but everything died down after about 5 hours so I'm back at work today.  Hoping today or tomorrow is it since this is when I had DD and my OB thinks you tend to have your babies around the same time.  We'll see.  I've been walking and I'm about to go walk around my building right now.

    Good luck!  I went into labor as soon as I gave up on worrying about being in labor.  I was in denial for the first 3-4 hours of contractions because I had them before and they never led anywhere those times, so I was sure it wasn't going to lead anywhere this time!  So no real advice here, just wanted to say good luck to you!
