for
Best Unsuccessful Labor Induction Attempt Ever
Yep, that's me and the last couple of weeks in a nutshell.
(Warning: you may not want to know this)
I've tried:
Walking
Accupuncture
Accupressure
Washing the Floor on my hands and knees
Sex
Mowed the Lawn (like 3-4 times)
Food Poisoning (I'm counting that as my castor oil...produces the same result)
Membranes stripped multiple times
------ stimulation (if you don't know, you'll have to ask me)
Peppermint oil on the feet
Prayers...o.k., more like pleadings
the only thing I haven't tried are some herbal teas, but if all of these things haven't worked, I highly doubt some wimpy teas are going to do the trick. I guess I could try cooking some eggplant parmesan recipe I've heard of. Might as well cross everything off the list, right?
So after having a good old fashion, ugly cry, meltdown last Monday, I've come to terms that this son of mine is a circus performer and must be doing a hand stand down there and refuses to come out. (the meltdown could have been induced by the fact that my sis in-law, who was due three days after me, had her baby that night.)
I think this kid's nickname will be, Maximus Stubbornus!
FOR CRYING OUT LOUD....COME OUT!!!!!!

Don't give up yet Lindsay! You're coming from square one here, so you very well could start labor on your own, just a little bit late. You're just hoping it will start on it's own!! I will exercise my faith along with you! :)
(did you go to the zoo?)
Maybe you just needed to vent to get things moving?!? I hope that all goes well!!
You forgot jumping on the trampoline!! Try it. I so remember those last couple weeks and final days. It is torture. Hang in there. Lots of baths. That's what got me through. Funny thing is, as soon as you have that baby boy in your arms, you'll forget all about these days.
Oh Linds! I'm sorry. My suggestion . .use murphy's law (anything that can go wrong will) in your favor. Plan lots of things you don't want to miss or things that it would be really nice to accomplish prior to going into labor, maybe one last fancy date with your man. You will go into labor for sure!
