Question: C'mon, baby! Don't say maybe! This is not my first
baby. I am close to one week past my due date. No signs of
labor. First, tell me how to survive because my first baby was
here by now and I just cannot do this much longer. Second, why
haven't I gone into labor yet and what if I don't? <br /><br />
First baby was born by this time in my last pregnancy. I don't
know what this baby is waiting for. Good position, low down, the
weather is beautiful. I've had off an on contractions for going
on a month that haven't turned into anything. And I'm
increasingly disappointed each time, though I am trying, in the
logical part of my brain, to maintain the sense that I'm not
actually overdue for another week and a half or so.<br> <br> I
have pulled out all the old wives tricks I know, and
unsurprisingly, the spicy food, prenatal massages
