I felt my daughter took far too long to show up, though she was three weeks early. I'd been in such pain from a month of constant Braxton-Hicks contractions that I'd been desperate for relief. I truly empathize and hope your wee one comes soon.  But just in case...

In the children's book OLLIE by Olivier Dunrea, two little goslings anxiously await the arrival of a third. They keep telling the little one in the egg to "come out", but he refuses. It isn't until they wise up and tell him "NOT to come out" that the contrary gosling makes an appearance.

Do you have an OLLIE on your hands maybe?  Tell him to stay and see what happens!
