I'm Currently Feeling:  | I've been trying it all, sex, walking, swimming, pineapple, accupressure and none of it has worked. I think baby comes when baby wants too. |

You're right, none of the methods effect women the same way - so there are lots of different reactions... from doesn't work at all, to got me in labor in 10 mins. But I would say the more biological the method the more likely it is to work.
And to think of it, it is a bit ironic that the very act that got you pregnant might be able to get you 'not pregnant'... seems very like mother nature somehow  Yes, I know it's not proven... just seems likely for some reason.  |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I guess that ultimately, she will come when she wants to. I can't help but get my hopes up that she is on time though. It will be another year till fathers day otherwise!
I'll sweet talk her out  |

I am due on the 14th of June and I am desperate for her to be on her due date as it is Father's Day on 15th of June and my OH will be chuffed to bits if he is a daddy by then. How can i persuade her to come in time?
I've been telling her how happy daddy will be if she comes in time but i'm not sure she's interested
xxx | Im due the 8th of June and im dying for my little boy to come out before fathers day too..
Exactly a week after 
Not sure if anything mentioned works but if hes not out, i will be trying them!!  |
