Hi! THANK YOU to everyone for all your tweets, comments, and support. I have honestly never felt so loved! I truly can’t believe I’m still preggers! WTF!?! I’m currently at 41 weeks and 1 day pregnant with no major signs of labor ; ( I’ve been feeling anxious, uncomfortable and, to be honest, pretty miserable. Believe me when I say I’ve tried everything to naturally induce labor. Like EVERYTHING. From a “labor inducing” salad, to acupuncture, reflexology, castor oil, raspberry tea, getting busy with the hubs, and anything else you can possibly think of! 
On a positive note Idris is doing great (he’s a little too comfy if you ask me). Michael and I have had two appointments in the last few days to monitor his fluid levels and his heart beat. Everything is perfect and all the Dr’s and my midwife agree to just let nature run it’s course for the next few days to see what happens. If he is not here by Friday, I will be induced. Getting induced would most likely mean no water birth for me, which breaks my heart, but ultimately I’m going to do what’s right for my baby boy. I want him healthy and happy. In the meantime Michael and I will do our best to keep you all posted on what’s going on with me and my nugget.
In even more positive news, my preggy partner in crime Kayli had her beautiful baby boy today! Check out her insta and send her lots of love! Idris can’t wait to meet his BFF.
Thanks again to all of you! Sending you lots of love!
Gotta Go!
Try spicy food! make sure it’s hot hot hot! I have known a few others in your position and let me tell you that spicy food did the trick. and what exactly is labor inducing salad? lol no matter what you are gonna have yourself a healthy baby boy when the time is right. (but seriously, try eating a super spicy meal).
Good luck and congrats in advance Mama! Try a papaya smoothie, evening primrose oil and some black cohosh! I really hope you get your water birth it’s such an awesome experience… I know you’ll do great no matter what. Lots of labor dust and good vibes your way! Can’t wait to see him!
I definitely know how you’re feeling. I had my little one finally at 42 weeks and 1 day. He was far too comfy if you ask me. You’re looking great and doing great and so is your little nugget so just enjoy these last few days feeling him wiggle around. My son is 3 months old now and even though I know those last few days were awful and full of impatience I can’t actually remember them. I can’t wait until you get you’re little one. I didn’t know to had a blog but I’m glad I do now. 🙂

Primrose oil!
You are the most beautiful pregnant woman Sharzard! You’re going to be such a fantastic mother!!! Extra hot spicey food would be my best advice to you. But you’re baby boy seems to be so comfortable in there! Excited for you 🙂 Good luck, hope he pops out soon hehe! Xxxx
Sooooo happy for you and your husband. Try pineapple juice and lots of walks. Best Wishes!!!
Aww Sharzad, I’m sorry you’re so uncomfortable and miserable! Hope he comes today! Have you had your membranes swept?
He will be here soon enough:) just breathe and try to relax.
My little princess was 15 days too late! I am so Happy that didnt choose to induce labor. Have patience! When ur little boy is ready, he will come! Dont let the people around u put u under pressure. U r making the right and best thing for u and the baby with choosing a natural birth!!! Wish u all the best!
I love that you are letting nature take its course! I’m a Holistic Doula here in Canada. I have a mama in the same boat. We’ve been sand walking, lunging and stair climbing like pros! She will have baby and I will lose weight! LOL
You are such an inspiration Shar.
I cant wait to hear about your birth.
Though, I secretly wished you’d be overdue so that your baby could be born on April 28th. That was my birthday!
😉
If u plan on nursing and have a breast pump try pumping bc it can start contractions and bring on labor. Save anything u pump for baby bc the pre milk has a ton of great stuff for baby’s health and immune system.
My DD was 11 days late and I have one piece of advice:
Bring a 3-month outfit for your little nugget. They’re just growing and growing right now, and my “little” girl (9 pounds +) didn’t fit into any of the newborn sized clothes.
Can’t wait to see him!
I’ve heard eating reallyREALLY spicy food works!
Good luck Sharzad! 🙂
I’ve heard eating really REALLY spicy food works!
Good luck Sharzad! 🙂
Try a ball! (exercise ball) You can just bounce up and down which could start labor if it works
