Or as I like to call it... D-DAY!

So yesterday I had a doctors appointment (I am 38+3) and she found that I am 3cm and 80% effaced! Not only that but the baby is 8lbs 2 oz already! & is measuring at 40cm. She stripped my membranes in hope that it would help me get some contractions going. She doesn't want me to go passed my due date at all which is the 26th. However I REALLY want to have the baby either this weekend or next weekend because the hubby can only come home on the weekends and I will be crushed if he's not here. So i asked her to induce next weekend which she wont because its her weekend off from the hospital and she wont induce this weekend either because she doesn't like to induce before 39 weeks (which is tuesday) So my only option is to naturally go into labor this weekend or next weekend. SO I am going to try every way possible to go into labor this weekend, and if it doesn't work this weekend then i will put myself on bed rest all next week until the weekend to try again! haha.

Thursday July 14th
Woke up at 10:00 and went to the grocery store.
Bought red raspberry tea and canned pineapple.
Came home and ate a whole box of raspberrys, drank a cup of raspberry tea, ate spicy chicken wings.
Then took a hot bath and tried nipple stimulation (hurt very bad) Also gave myself a foot massage, squeezed my achilles tendon and rubbed the skin between my thumb and index finger (all things ive heard of doing)
Then ate a can of pineapple and TMI made myself orgasm.

Now im realizing I need to eat fresh pineapple so I will be going back to the store tonight to get a real pineapple and castor oil which I will be trying in the morning in hopes of going in to labor tomorrow night. I will also be doing many other things over the next couple days. Ladies send me your labor dust!

    Oh & I have only had a few contractions since she stripped my membranes but she said it could be anywhere from 24-48hrs to get major ones! Im hoping!
  • myHEARTZx3myHEARTZx3
    I heard pineapple has to be fresh... Also papayas n mangoes have the same thing that pineapples have that "induces" labor... The only thing I have ever tried was sex lol
  • Babylove00Babylove00

    I did labor cake; had my son two days after my second piece (that one was refrigerated; I think that made it taste better!). It's a box of Devil's Food cake mix plus 1 cup sour cream (sounds gross but it isn't!), 1 box chocolate pudding mix, and 1 bag chocolate chips. I added whipped chocolate frosting on mine as well. SUPER RICH and tasty. =P~
  • momof22bemomof22be

    @babylove00... blue cohosh comes in the vitamin section of the drug store or walmart..etc.. the one I got was in dropper form. I forget the amount, you can look it up, but I mixed it with a couple ounces of coke... and get a massage! There's pressure points all over your body... even in the foot so get a pedicure!
  • ashesashes
    On the inside of your ankle I've heard to press that. Stroke from bottom to top (like from bottom of foot to calf area)
    Tryyyy it :)
  • vette_devilvette_devil
    @ashes ...I started rubbing my inner ankles as soon as I read your post, lol! ;)
  • misskristinmisskristin
    I believe the pressure point in the ankle is 4 finger widths from the bone on the on the inside if the ankle. At least that's what I was told in my birthing class when I was pregnant with my son.

    I do have to say that if pineapple works, I will be trying that when I get to that point...I live in HI, just down the road from the Dole Pineapple Plantation...it doesn't get any fresher! lol
