My Appt Today

So that was an uneventful appointment that
I had today. I had to see the guy doctor
that's backing up my other doctor until
she gets back Sunday afternoon.
Everything is still great with Dante.  Had to laugh b/c
the doc told me that he has a girl's hb. I
know there's no truth in that. He also
said that his head is really low, which is
good.
Other than that, he didn't check me or
anything because he said he didn't want to
stir anything up, and that he hopes I'll
hold out until Sunday so that my doctor
can deliver me.
Apparently she really wants to deliver me.
I have an appt on Monday with her when
she's back, so hopefully then I have get
some word when he's going to come!

Walk  I know, probably
the last thing you want to do in the
winter - but gravity is your friend right
now. The lower Dante's head is, the better
to open your cervix and the more you will
progress.
Good luck!

i looked it up on a website and there are
some natural ways to bring on labour. ill
name a few
love making, nipple stimulation, walking,
complemantary therapies (acupuncture or
reflexology)
you should ignore the advice to take
laxatives (eg castor oil). these can lead
to discomfort, sometimes pain and possibly
complications, such as infections and
dehydtration
i hope dante gets here soon. good luck x

LMAO I've tried it all. I walked around
Walmart and Target for 4 hrs the other
night, I walk around campus at school and
I'm always on my feet at work. And we've
had sex, tried the nipple stimulation, and
pressure points. None of it has worked
yet.
Hopefully he'll
come Sunday night when my doctor's back in
town. Maybe that's what he's waiting for.

Eat a REAL pineapple. Well the kind that
you have to cut up yourself! I read
somewhere that it has something in it that
starts contractions or whatever. If you
google it you may find it. I ate one the
night before I went into labor. Its worth
a try lol

This is what I found. I could swear this
is what started my labor!
Pineapple is said to induce labor as well.
Pineapple, as well as papaya and mango,
contain a proteolytic enzyme called
bromelain. When bromelain is consumed with
meals, it assists in the digestion of
proteins. When taken on an empty stomach,
bromelain acts medicinally as an
anti-inflammatory agent. Therefore,
naturopathic medicine uses this enzyme to
reduce pain and swelling.
The mechanism by which pineapple
contributes to inducing labor might be the
proteolytic action of bromelain. Bromelain
might help to soften the connective tissue
of the cervix and, thus, bring on labor.
Because bromelain is destroyed in the
production process of canned pineapple,
you should consume only fresh pineapple
flesh if you are trying to induce labor
with pineapple.
If your cervix is unripe -- and you are
not fond of eating plenty of pineapple --
you can also use prostaglandin to help
soften and ripen the cervix. You can use
prostaglandins directly on the cervix or
you can take it orally.

LOL That's what I'm saying!  I'm done
trying to do the things that supposeably
help induce labor. I've already tried a
bunch of things (excluding castor oil and
pineapple).
Hopefully I'll get good news on Monday.

he WILL come lol
im so proud of you amy! hang in there
girl! its almost over i promise i know the waiting
game is hard but get some sleep
and lots of it
you have no idea how much it helps if
youre well rested
because once you go into labor that IS
HARD WORK and then the days
after are filled with emotion and
exitement. so much it tires you out
completely.
