Well they did another ultrasound and the fluid level went back up but only a little. They said that he could have just urinated. So she said since the level was back up some she wanted to wait and do "another" u/s on thursday, that's if I don't have him before. She didn't check me for dilation she just said she would do that on thursday. I wish she would just go ahead and do something but it look's like she is not going to! She told me to just drink alot of fluid's.

Ok, heres what I did...Lol... On the way home mom and I stopped and got some castor oil. I took it about 8:30pm and about 1:30am I started having some "major" cramp's, after those faded off I began to have some really hard contraction's. But it is now morning(11:00am) and nothing happened, other than getting cleaned out really good....Lol....(sorry, I know gross) but is that stuff suppose to work right away? Or take time? I have been cramping some this morning, not bathroom pain's but more vaginal pain and back pain. Grrrrr....I just wish he would hurry and get here. Also she said I had the group b strep, im confused about that. She said it was nothing to worry about but she told me my baby could get a really bad infection, she even said some babies die! And then she say's don't worry..Yeah buddy!!! On top of the fluid and now this and him barely moving at all....Im worried...She said I probably just wasn't noticeing movement, but I know my baby and my body and she just doesen't listen, oh well. Anyone else done the castor thing, did it worl right away?Next day? What about this group b stuff? Sorry guy's I know this is long. Couldn't help it..Heehe

Hey hun,
never tried the oil thingy so I cant help you there. Strep b is dangerous if the baby has contracted it but they give you some kind of meds before delivery to help im not sure what it is called so ill do some research and get back to you

Thanks Tazzy
I know she said I would half to be hooked up to iv antibotic's but she also said when my water breaks to leave for the hospital immediately instead of waiting on contraction's. She said it gives more room for the passage of infection if I wait.

Lol..hey Jlee
It was gross..Lol...It is a very yucky tasting laxitive, it don't taste good I know that, I just closed my eyes held my nose and down it went but the thought of it now makes me wanna throw up..Lol....The strep test they did to me towards the end, I guess about 38week's, something like that. They just told me that alot of women get a vaginal infection and that it was a type of bacteria. I have been doing alot of reading on it and I have read that it is common and apparently normal in a lot's of women. But yeah the castor oil thing was ruff..Lol....I had called my grandmother who has 6 kid's and asked her about it before I did it. She said she drank it and then had her son within 5hrs or so of doing it, she told me just to make sure and get a pillow and sleep by the toliet!!! Well obvisouly the little booger wasn't ready to come out so I just spent the night in the bathroom..Lol
