[Milly is... positively elephantine in size, everything aches, she gets exhausted after the very slightest bit of exercise and it seems as though she has a bladder the size of a walnut that her baby finds incredibly comfy because she just cannot get comfortable without having to get up and use the bathroom two minutes later. And that is without all the false alarms and Braxton Hicks contractions she's been suffering for the last week. At the back of her mind, she's grateful that it's not been for very long at all, but even so she's uncomfortable and impatiently excited to meet her daughter or son and finally see her feet again.
And the house just cannot be clean enough for her tastes. Milly is cleaning like a woman on a mission. In between checking and double checking the nursery, trying to knit booties- and failing- and napping, she's going crazy with a feather duster and vacuum. Watch out, Trigun house.
She is on her hands and knees scrubbing the skirting boards... question is: will she ever be able to get up again?]

Alright! Spicy food hasn't worked, long walks haven't worked, and jumping up and down is really really uncomfortable so I don't want to try that unless I absolutely have to, but I'm beginning to go crazy waiting and there's only so much cleaning I can do before I need to take a nap.
I don't suppose any mothers out there know any sure fire ways to get a baby coming? Because I'm just about ready to have mine now and Muffin is showing no signs of moving at all. I'm at my wits' end!

Date: 2012-05-08 06:04 am (UTC)I don't know why the baby would want to be stubborn and stay all cooped up and cramped in there when there's a lovely new bed and clothes and kisses waiting for him or her.

Date: 2012-05-08 01:18 am (UTC)Well, I do know a few things... Acupuncture is said to help, though I'm sure that isn't exactly readily available.
The other is a little more accessible, [giggle] sex should do the trick.
[voice]
Date: 2012-05-08 01:34 am (UTC)[Well the sex thing is something she's planning to accost her husband for so that's something at least.]
What's acupuncture?
[voice]
Date: 2012-05-08 01:46 am (UTC)Acupuncture is a type of traditional medicine from China, it involves setting thin needles in pressure points. Some people swear by it for everything.

You're pregnant?

Date: 2012-05-08 02:04 am (UTC)Uhm, it doesn't quite work like that, I'm afraid. It's not advisable to induce labor without some sort of extenuating circumstances.
May I ask how far along you are?
Voice
Date: 2012-05-08 04:10 am (UTC)You can ask! I'm three months along which is much too early when you think about it, but that's apparently how long it takes here according to my doctor. I don't... really understand how the Malnosso could change it to be that short but that's how it is, and believe me I'm ready to have my baby now.
Voice
Date: 2012-05-08 04:21 am (UTC)I'm sorry that it's been troubling you, but as a doctor, I promise you that nature will take its course without your prompting it. Actually, it may be harmful to both of you if you keep at it, Miss...?

Date: 2012-05-08 10:34 am (UTC)I think you're over-thinking this a little, big girl. You need to rest and wait for him or her to give the word, I think.

Date: 2012-05-08 10:47 am (UTC)Because now that he is here it is time to attempt the one baby speeding up technique she hasn't tried yet.]
I can't rest, I can't get comfortable and I just want Muffin to get a move on and get here. I need you to take your pants off now, please.

Date: 2012-05-09 08:08 am (UTC)[Typically, I'm all for this, but...]
Pardon?
[i mean i know what this is probably implying but like
i don't even, you're about to explode and you're asking me to take my pants off-]

J-Jumping up and down doesn't seem like a very good idea, Milly. Just sounds like a good way to get a stomach ache.
And don't clean in my room, alright? [He's hiding some donuts in there from you.]
[Voice]
Date: 2012-05-08 10:10 pm (UTC)what was that about the dishes Mr. Vash the Stampede? >A< ]
Oh dear, I'm afraid it's much too late for that Mr. Vash. That was the first place I started.
