Haven’t given birth yet. Am trying just about everything…except the cod liver oil. No way am I trying the cod liver oil.

I write humorous, emotional romantic novels for Headline.
This blog is about my writing challenges. Occasionally I also talk about good-looking men.
Jenna says:
Have you tried laughing? Deep belly laughing, but the real kind. Maybe a comedy club or show on TV? Do you have a hilarious friend who could come over? Fecklet might appear to join the party!
(Careful though…at your stage this one might cause…accidents)
Jenna says:
OK…here’s a link to some prego jokes to get your belly jiggling like jello. Shake that boy up! He likes to party!

Q: Is there anything I should avoid while recovering from childbirth?
A: Yes, pregnancy
Marcy Bassett-Kennedy says:
You know, its ironic that the one thing (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) that works best to induce labour is the last thing on your mind when you feel like you’ve swallowed a twenty pound beachball. LOL. But it does work!

mary beth says:
Hugs Julie!
It will happen when it’s supposed to. I know that doesn’t help. Can’t wait to check in and see the Fecklet’s arrived!
Danica/Dream says:
You’re obviously not having enough sex. *sighs* Really, I thought you’d be ALL over that one.
Michelle Styles says:
What about gardening or simply taking a long walk?
Have you made sure that you are having treats like — new books to read or films to watch — ie things to take your mind off the impending birth?
One thing I can tell you is that you will have fecklet here for New Years.
And really it is not that long away.
Liz says:
Sex works:) Or it might the laughter induced by the positions…… Keep at it. If nothing else it helps to pass the time!
love,
liz
Jessica Raymond says:
Bleurgh, I don’t blame you…
Why not go somewhere public and posh? Sod’s law would probably decide to make your waters break if you were somewhere like that (not, for example, at home in the bathroom).

(((Julie)))
I keep dropping by hoping there won’t be a post …because that means you’ll have the Fecklet. Unless you send us a message from the delivery room. Hope he comes out soon.
Biddy says:
Please shout this at the Fecklet…
“GET OUT OF THERE NOW!!! YOU HAVE OUT STAYED YOUR WELCOME!”
lynne pardoe says:
I can remember that! All my babies were late – so late I remember wondering what the Guiness Book of Records max was, ‘cos I was sure I was gonna get there! it is boring I know, but hopefully not for too much longer,

Michelle says:
Go to the movies or do something fun for yourself. Maybe a pedicure. Baby jail time will be here soon enough!
Sue aka MsCreativity says:
Hmm… it’s 12.30pm on Tues 12th and you haven’t posted. Could it be… or maybe you’ve gone for a long walk (don’t forget the bus fare).
Hugs and well wishes, I’ll be back tomorrow.

Julie says:
I’m still here, too cranky to post!!
Mary says:
Hello oh cranky one
I had 2 stretch and sweeps with my second (fr some reason I called it a scratch and sniff). Second one worked. But I’d also booked in for acupuncture.
By the way, my interview with Tilly is published:

Sadhbh says:
Hi Julie
Still holding out for the 18th I see (good little Fecklet
)
Well dropping in to check every few hours should make you easily to the hundred thousand hit mark before Fecklet arrives
You could always write a book while you’re waiting LOL
Hugs

Natasha Oakley says:
Sex does indeed work. There’s a scientific reason for it apparently, but I can’t remember quite what. If you are aboutish to go into labour it just gives you a little head start. Oh .. and you don’t have to enjoy it!
For son number one I went on the swings, jumped off and ruptured my membranes. Last resort, I think, that one.
Julie says:
Right. So my options are:
a) laughing
b) sex
c) resigned fatalism
d) sex
e) gardening (shudder–rather have the castor oil)
f) walking
g) sex
h) going somewhere nice and embarrassing myself
i) shouting at baby
j) scratch ‘n’ sniff
k) curry
l) write a book
m) sex
n) attempted suicide.
I’ve tried them all so far except for e, j, and n.
Nicola Marsh says:
I recommend Pirates of the Caribbean.
Went to see the movie, not realising the loud canons would give bub a heart attack and scare him out!
He jumped and wriggled and twisted so much all through the movie, I’m sure that precipitated labour
