In response to the OP, I suggest option 1 as much as possible, as you won't get a look in for months afterwards

An OBGY consultant I used to know swore by the three H's.

Hot Bath.
Hot Curry.
Hot Sex.

You've tried the curry, might be worth giving the other two a whirl.

Hot Curry! That should be nice for the Nurse at the business end of proceedings

Especially as most women s*it themselves during labour, we had a hot chilli the evening before my daughter was born and… yes she did.

Eat two whole pineapple's. It's supposed to get things moving, as is a good old nookie session.

Or drive down lots of bumpy roads.

count yourself lucky!

I had day off yesterday for the wifes planned c-section (bad experience last time...).

So she starves herself from midnight the before (well, 8pm actually), we get to hospital at 845 for 9pm appointment. we;re told instantly that there is an emergency section lined up and one other planned (only two planned per day), so we're happy with that as you cant really argue plus we've been there and done that.

12pm arrives, nurse pops in, should be ready at 1430, does the wife want a drip as she is thirsty, no as we'll be going in at 1400 for prep etc.

15:15 i'm bored and getting annoyed. no one is telling us anything. i go out and grab a nurse, "dr will be with you in a min". 20 mins later same nurse comes in, who turns out to be the ward manager. i ask whats going on. she gets all snotty, "there have been emergencies as you know...". now i'm normally firey so i didnt hold back, saw my arse at this point...

"excuse me, my wife is in tulip state, no food or drink since last night. i took a day off work and lost £x00's. you waste my day and in come in all snotty, i think you need to take yourself in to the corner and have a word with yourself... just what are these emergencies you refer to" (more or less word for word)

"er, you know about the emergencies" (still snotty)
"actually, we know about one at 9am."
"oh, er, tulip... has no one spoken to you?" (suddenly starting to creep)
"no."
"er... ICU emergency... Aneathetist had to escort and go to hope hospital... No Aneathetist for you... cant do today..."
"so you are saying not today"
"yes, we're really really sorry... it will be Tuesday now, we promise"
"you sure?"
"yes, i promise to ring and confirm by 10am Monday etc blah blah blah"

So i now have a hysterical wife. she had prepped herself to leave our 21mth for the 1st time ever for 3 nights and now she has to build up to it again. the consultant suggested this approach as it was supposed to be "less stress" that the first baby...

So now i've had to rearrange my whole week at 1615 on a friday, luckily i have understanding client...

useless arses. i hate the NHMess.
