4 weeks to go

Just 4 weeks left, time seems to have slowed down. I'm feeling super heavy and sluggish. I'm finding I don't want to stray too far from home now so I wonder if that's a sign that our Little man will make an appearance soon. I've started EPO orally as I've heard it's a really good source of prostoglandins which help to ripen the cervix, that and BD which I feel I'm far too big to attempt right now lol. Im not brave enough to use EPO vaginally as I'll probably end up with an irritation which would be just my luck. I've also been using Raspberry leaf capsules as I heard that's help to shorten the 2nd stage of labour. I bought them from my local Heath food shop and my midwife is happy for me to use them, I've got to gradually up the dosage as I get closer to due date. I hope he arrives sooner than later as DD was 1day away from induction and ended up being a EMCS. I can't wait. I keep hoping every twinge is something stirring but so far nothing lol.
