Oh wow! So exciting. The old wive's tale of first babies being late is so true.....
I tried all those tricks too, walking, nipple stimulation, caster oil (*shudder* I do NOT recommend), spicy food, sex, etc. Nothing really works, they come when they are ready KWIM?
I do think the walking helps once you have started labor though. Keep us posted!
I do seem to recall you and the castor oil. Shudder indeed. I also remember going to Waffle House on the way to the hospital to induce Gaby :) I was hoping Anna would "go towards the light", but she's content to flop and squiggle so much i don't think she actually wants to leave, at any rate, she gets until the 3rd when they induce.
Old wives and their old tales! i've been trying to walk to bring on labor, but that's not working so good. I was also told to do heavy lifting and manual labor. That might have been Shane trying to get me to do all the house work, or some other joker trying to give me a hernia. Everybody needs a hernia right before they go into labor, right?
On the plus side, as of last Wednesday, i was 50% effaced, and am probably moreso now. Will find out after ob appointment this afternoon.
