Kathy’s bump is pretty large now: our baby is now 5 days overdue. Two other couples in our NCT group have given birth already. Over the weekend we started resorting to some of the reputedly-effective methods of hurrying labour along: gin (with tonic!), curry, pineapple and a drive on a bumpy road. But…nothing. Nada. Zip.

With that Crazy Frog musical carbuncle still at number one in the charts, however, I’d be inclined to say to baby “just wait a bit longer”.
