...ate a spicy lunch, had sex w/my husband, and...


...my childhood friend went into labor.
...I did not.

LMBO ;) I guess that what I get for trying to play the induction game! I guess I'll just try to enjoy these last 20 +/- days of being pregnant. Maybe the full moon this weekend will work for me again. :)

    Wow, I got a heckuva response to this one...
  • mom60511mom60511
    I keep telling myself to enjoy the last 22 days.

    Me too!! I'm 39wks. I've been walking and walking and sexing and eating spicy foods and pine apples and standing on the porch while it thunderstorms. Nothing!! Ugh. The full moon comes on the 15th which is my due date, so we'll see.

    Well at least you will be good n' in shape for when the baby does come!
  • marabelmarabel
    When it comes it comes;) I want time to go by faster I'm 26 weeks 3 days....
  • mommalisamommalisa
    Good for u for being that far along and taking a 3 mile walk. For that alone you deserve a prize :-D
  • vette_devilvette_devil
    @jcmommy ...lol... I told myself I wasn't going to try anything, but I am so miserable! Lol..
    @sissylala ...that's funny because I ran my first full marathon last fall & I told my hubby yesterday that it might have been the worst thing because a few years ago a 3 mile walk would have definitely been enough to put me in labor, lol... but now it's like nothing, and I am NOT going to run right now with this belly!!! ;)

    Spicy food helps bring on labor?
  • starrxoxo9starrxoxo9
    For a while I said I wouldn't do much to induce labor when I got to 37wks, I would just let nature take its course, but for some reason I am getting super impatient so I may change my mind!! I'm only 32 wks though
  • vette_devilvette_devil
    @maribelg ...I've been told so, but obviously it hasn't worked for me, lol!

    @starrxoxo9 ...I knew I would walk, but I said I wasn't going to try anything else... the spicy taco salad just sounded so good! ;) But I will definitely NOT be trying castor oil... my gag reflex is so bad this pregnancy that brushing my teeth makes me throw up! =(
  • letysfirstletysfirst
    @vette_devil ur post made me laugh, its ok, u cant rush beauty ;) good luck my dear
  • starrxoxo9starrxoxo9
    Omg Castro oil sounds awful, and I've thrown up from brushing my teeth too!!
  • jcmommyjcmommy
    I'm not going to get induce medically unless necessary so trying these "natural" methods are worth a try. 39wks and not dilated. Ugh
  • vette_devilvette_devil
    @jcmommy ...my thoughts exactly! ;)

    @letysfirst ...thanks, hun! She's going to be gorrrrgeous! ;)

    I wanna go in labor too but I'm 36 weeks, should I go on a long walk? Do you think it will help?
  • mommy3mommy3
    Omg, 37 weeks & a 3 mile walk!!!! Girl, you're a trooper! I'm 37 weeks also & walking down my stairs makes me wanna die, so you go girl!! My doctor also said walking usually only helps speed things up if you're already dialated.. who knows though! Every mommy, every baby, and every pregnancy is different!!

    Ill be 37 weeks tomorrow. Im debating on trying any induction methods. I kno im having some sex tonite tho. Bf will be happy. Hes gonna have to give it up on the daily from here on out. Lol
  • vette_devilvette_devil
    LOL @BayouMama ...I bet he'll be devastated! ;)
  • vette_devilvette_devil
    @ashthurs ...it can't hurt to try; the things I've heard so far are that it has to A) be at a brisk pace, B) Be for over an hour at a time, and now C) from @mommy3 above - you need to be already somewhat dialated for it to do any good... ? @mommy3 ...I was 1cm dialated at 33wks; I got checked because I had a very breif brush w/pre-term labor & they made sure I wasn't progressing. I have not been checked since then, but my doc said she was much further down last Thursday than she was the week before. I really thought walking would do it!

    @ashleyfew ...me too! I'm very curious; it worked with my first baby, and my midwife said every time there's a full moon she gets called in & L&D is always full! Lol... it's supposed to be something about the slight change in gravity I guess...?

    @vette_devil, keep on walking!!! Maybe even try some swimming lol sounds relaxing & can be somewhat of a workout.. try it all (: haha
  • BayouMammaBayouMamma
    @Ashleyfew the next full moon is Friday night the 15th
  • vette_devilvette_devil
    @August22baby ...no, lol... I was already "done" at 30 weeks, I just knew I had to be patient a lot longer, lol! Now that I've made it to full term my patience is gone & I feel terrible about that! :/
    @ashleyfew ...it could have been a coincidence, but I went into labor on a full moon with my first!!! ...it's this Friday, the 15th... I'll let you know if it works for me & vice versa!

    I want to try walking tomorrow. The only issue is its sooo hot and I am too tired to pull of an hour walk but I am going to try.
  • mummytuubemummytuube

  • vette_devilvette_devil
