My youngest daughter, Gina 28yo, is waaaay past ready to POP with her first baby!
She was due last Tuesday, June 30th. She missed our family reunion yesterday b/c she doesn't dare travel too far from her hospital (180 mile trip from here). Her sister and cute family are visiting from AZ and are leaving to return home tomorrow. If Gina delivers tonight, then her sister can see the baby (they won't return for many many months -- 10 hour trip). The doc will start her on the Pit drip Tuesday, but that's two whole days away!!! Anyone have and tried and true methods for getting this baby delivered ASAP? Gina doesn't own a pogo stick or trampoline. The bumpy road hasn't worked so far. Help!

Getting as far away from the hospital as possible should work...... At least it did for me and my first one.
Babies have a way of knowing when they should arrive......I'd just let nature take it's course. Unless, of course, there's something wrong or a medical issue that makes it impossible to wait. Keeping my fingers crossed for her to get a move on!

Best way I have heard of getting the baby to arrive is to recreate the conception process, if you know what I mean...

Okay you people, I read your suggestions to Gina. I told her I was at a loss as how to respond.
She says thank you, but they're going fishing (getting away from the hospital).

Earl! Geez! Smack!
Good luck on this blessed event! He will be here soon and all will be fine. Grabbing Earl by his ear and smacking him again for just thinking about that stuff at a time like this. (yeah, yeah, I have heard of this old tale.) Grabbing Earl by his other ear...... |

If it's her first baby she should be safe....they generally take their time being born. How far away is she going? My first one took his time.......almost 24 hours from the time I arrived at the hospital to the time he was born. But, all babies are different so you can't really rely on having an abundance of time. Does she know what sex the baby is yet? Please let us know when he or she arrives! And I guess I don't even have to tell you to get pics!
