INDUCTION.

Pregnancy is ALMOST to its end. Crossing our fingers.
I am due this SATURDAY, 8.22.09.

Things that I still NEED to be able to have this BUNDLE of JOY.

  1. Dilation
  2. Effacement
  3. Labor pains
  4. Broken water
  5. Engagement
  6. Expanded pelvis

Can YOU help? If so, please give me your advice.

*Note: Things we have tried: maternity massage. walks. spicy food. bouncing on exercise ball. spending "quality" time with the husband- you know what I mean. etc.

  2. You should have your doctor strip your membranes. My doc did it that morning and I went into labor that night! Also if it doesn't work the first time have your doc do it again a couple days later. How exciting!!!

  3. In my case there was nothing magical that worked. Your little peanut will come when she's ready, even if it's later than when you're ready! And once she comes, you'll forget how awful all this waiting was!

  4. Katy and James! Good luck, we can't wait to meet her. With my upcoming surgery, the blessing won't be possible for us to attend so we are planning on coming for Labor Day to meet my new niece! Can't wait!! Love you guys!
    Oh by the way, so far four pregnancies and lots of advice later we still haven't found anything that works except for induction in the hospital, but we will send up a few prayers for sooner rather than later!

  5. Sorry, the only thing that ever worked for me was pitocin, but my last doctor called me a "birthing machine" so I guess I already had all the other things you are looking for (except for the broken water). Hang in there. As the song says, there will come a day when "you're going to miss this."

  6. Good luck with everything! It sounds like you have tried almost everything...I've heard stripping your membranes works too. But she will come when she wants, you know she already has a mind of her own :)

  7. Castor Oil (spelling?)within 24 hours my baby was here. It made me so sick, but totally worth it. Good Luck!

  8. Past experience X6-Patience and Mother Nature are the only things that works. This little girl is just getting you prepared for her arrival-from here on out she will be the "boss" of all of your lives!
