Not Much to Report

Oh yes, I'm still pregnant. No amount of Evening Primrose, Sage Oil, or walking can do the trick. I've held off on the Castor Oil for fear it will just give me the runs and in this ridiculous heat, I'd rather not risk dehydration.

I'm off for another stress test sometime tomorrow. Apparently, I'm supposed to call in the a.m. and see when they can take me. Then hopefully I'll start the induction process on Monday night and hopefully have a baby on Tuesday. I was hoping for the lil' guy to come naturally but it was drugs that got him in there so it looks like it will be drugs that get him out.

In the meantime, I'll continue to be driven crazy by both Mary and my mom :-\

Would your midwife consider sweeping the membranes before doing an induction? You are in exactly the same place as Cutest Little Babymakers in Town -- check out their blog. They are also in western MA.

remember the avg. first baby is 8 or more days overdue and due dates are kind of figments of the med. establishment's imagination! (at least that's what we're trying to tell ourselves over here!)

I'm pretty sure she seperated my membranes on Monday in hopes it was jump start my labor but no such luck. But it hurt really bad and I'm still spotting from it *lovely*.

I'm sending you positive uterine contraction vibes. :) I can only imagine how ready you are to get this show on the road.
