Reached your due date and there’s still no sign of the little fella? Follow our daily calendar to help you through to B-day
By now, if labour still hasn’t started, you ought to try going for a short walk. Just being upright means that gravity is working with you, encouraging your baby to move down into your cervix. Walking will also act as a useful distraction from the inevitability of your baby being induced if you don’t go into labour today.“I went for lots of long walks when I went overdue,” says Emma Cunningham, 29, from Peterborough, mum to Kai, 4, Keira, 3, and Corey, 18 months, “but nothing happened. Then, 10 days after my due date, I came across a swing during my walk and after a few goes back and forth my contractions started. Corey was in my arms just two hours later.”
