Here are John and I at Chino Bandido's after church today. I really didn't think I would make it to 40 weeks! Everybody thought I would go early cause of my silly uterus but here I am still ticking.
Here are a list of things I tried (unsuccessfully) to get little baby Campbell to come out and play:
1. LOTS of walking (1-2 times a day for the last week)
2. Spicy food... thai hot. I was
3. Bouncing on an exercise ball
4. Testing out Murphy's law... I made lots of plans hoping I would have to cancel them, but no I didn't!
5. ;) wink wink
6. Acupressure points
7. Eating pineapple
8. Eating rhubarb
9. Evening primrose oil
10. Having my membranes stripped
11. Lots and lots of prayer
A list of things I have yet to try....
1. Acupuncture
2. Good 'ole castor oil
3. Using a breast pump
4. Finishing my 'to-do' list
I might give a few of these things a try later this week. I really don't want to get induced because it increases your risk of c-section. I also want to labor without an epidural and I know pitocin makes labor more painful.
Anybody know of anymore things that worked for them or people they know?
how does winking increase chance of labor? Say Hi to both...
ReplyDeletehahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! I started laughing out loud when I read this!
ReplyDeleteHi Kaysie and John,
ReplyDeleteSorry I have been AWOL from all the excitement of the last week, but I've kind of been laid out from a medical situation of my own. Anyway, congratulations on the GI-NORMOUS blessing you've received in your beautiful baby boy. I hope you cherish and savor every moment you have with that little bundle of joy for whom we have prayed for so long. Can't wait to see him myself!
Love,
Dave E.
