So tired...

[natalieae]

Baby is sapping all my energy. My MOPS meeting this morning took all my reserves for the day and now I'm so tired. Just waiting for hubby to come home so I can go take a nice long nap. I can't even bring myself to vacuum the floor, though it is in dire need. Tomorrow, we visit the doctor and decide what to do about this stubborn baby not coming out

have you tried castor oil or other "Natural" aids to induce?

I've tried walking, bumpy roads, spicy food, evening primrose oil, pineapple, oregano and basil, and intimacy. I feel the castor oil is a bad idea, but I think I've covered all the other bases!

yeah, My 2nd was at 41 weeks, Hang in there, know your options, and don't be pushed around.
Best wishes!

I'm going to ask if we can sort of take it slow and see if my body takes over on its own. I've been having contractions 1-4 at a time, then they go away, and come back a day or two later. Maybe some Cervadil will do the trick and we won't have to go the Pitocin route. My doc seems pretty understanding about not wanting to use any drugs and having a natural birth. He flat out told me last week he couldn't consider inducing at that time because we'd probably end up as a c-section since my cervix wasn't ready.

Aside from all that, I'm not sure what other induction options there are. Do you know of any?
