Nothing to report, people…move along

Well here I am, 42 weeks and 1 day pregnant. Not really a surprise to anyone, is it?

My homeopath sent me some Pulsatilla 200C in the post, as the 30C potency I took last week did get the baby moving, but didn’t actually get him/her into any kind of ready-to-be-born position. I took the 200C last night, and I think* the baby is now head-down, though with his/her head slightly to the left of my cervix - though no longer over my hipbone, so that’s something. And it’s been less than 12 hours since I took the Pulsatilla, so maybe today we’ll see a baby in some kind of position where actually coming out would be possible?

(* I am not very good at working out the position of babies in utero. In fact, given that this is my fifth baby, I think it would be fair to expect me to be much, much better at it than I am. So I am offering no guarantees regarding this information.)

So far this morning has not been one of our better ones. Freddy was using the kids’ bathroom, so Jack came in to use mine. After spending five minutes telling me he was going to do this (with me going “yes, yes, go on then” the whole time), he did so, and then emptied half a bottle of essential oils down the sink. So now the bathroom reeks of a mixture of tea-tree, sweet thyme and rosemary oils. George had three meltdowns by 9am *sigh*. Let’s hope it gets better from here.

As those of you who know me via email lists probably know, my email sig-lines include quotes, chosen at random by my email client. I added one today, but I like it so much I’m going to put it here too:
