waiting for baby

So the highly anticipated due date has finally arrived...and still no sign of baby. It's hard not to be disappointed, no matter how many people tell you that first babies rarely arrive on time and are late more often than not. It really is the most frustrating thing, waking up every morning thinking, 'ahh, perhaps today will be the day!' and then as every hour passes and still no signs of labour occur, the level of hope that this will be the case slowly diminishes. As we have now been impatient for a while, we've already tried nearly all of the natural ways to induce labour... so far to no avail. It wouls seem she is a stubborn little one who will arrive when she is ready and only then, no matter the amount of pleas we put out to her!
