I feel for you! My first was 10 days late and it was late July. I was miserable!

I would definitely do a prenatal massage. There is a place in mt. airy, the maternal wellness center, that has a massage table with cut outs for your belly and breasts so you can actually lie on your stomach. It is bless. Some massage therapists will tell you that have your ankles massaged can induce labor.

My doula told us lots of sex, but gad, when you are huge and it is hot, sex is the last thing you want! (Okay, it was the last thing I wanted -- and my husband, god love him, wasn't exactly in the mood either.) She also suggested acupuncture, though I never tried it.

If you can, try to focus on resting and storing up your energy - movies, bad television, dinner out.

Best of luck!
