Clary sage didnt work for me, I was given two lots of gel and my waters were broken. First attempt my OB couldn't, second time two hours later he could.

Hope bubs arrives for you soon

Mummaorange you'll have to ask them directly about the drip. I did ask the midwives at my hospital they said one Ob will allow a very small amount, my Ob said if they can't break the waters it's straight off for a csection. I don't think it is ruled out but depends on your Ob.

I had an induction with a catheter (foley's) thru my cervix and a balloon blown up which got me a few cms dilated. Then they could break my waters... worth asking?

Also a good acupuncturist if you like/have access to that sort of thing.

Acupuncture worked for me.

No.

And I tried everything including the oil, clary sage and every other thing anyone had ever said might help.

My waters broke about 5 hours after my Ob said conditions weren't favourable for a S&S, but I ended with an emergency c/s anyway.

Good luck

I wasn't overdue for either of my pregnancies but really wanted my babies to be born before a hoard of my DH rellies arrived. Both times the night before their due dates I kept talking to them and telling them it was time to come out. Popped out babies the next day...coincidence? possibly but I do believe in the power of the mind. I was desperate to have these children before everyone arrived!
Goodluck and enjoy your last part of your pregnancy!
