STILL HERE

My appt. yesterday was a joke. I was 'a good 2 cm' and the Dr. stretched me out to 'almost 3 cm' THAT was painful, lemme tell you! I felt like I was being sexually molested!! LOL He said I would definetly start contracting, and would spot after that exam. Yep - NEITHER ONE HAPPENED! oh, I had a SMALL spot of red when I wiped all the gel up after the exam. I did not have not ONE stinkin contraction yesterday!

BUT - yesterday morning about 2:30 a.m. I was having menstrual like cramps that I was able to time at 6-7 minutes apart for 2 hours. at the 2 hour mark, I figured I'd better eat something before we went to the hospital, thinking 'hey, this might be it!" as soon as I ate, they stopped. I was SOOOO MAD!


Now, how do I go about getting this kid out before Tuesday?? I've tried calling a couple of acupuncurists, and they've all told me that they won't treat me unless I'm an already existing patient. BOOOOO! I'm kinda scared of walking around the neigbhorhood, or even the mall, by myself. Just the whole people trying to cut full-term babies from the mothers bellies... I know, paranoid, but still.

Any other suggestions??? I'm trying accupressure on myself, but so far no dice with that either. Will hooking myself up to the breast pump do anything?? DH and I tried DTD but eh, that was WAY to uncomfortable, and didn't do anything anyways (in the way of contractions or anything anyways....)


HELP!!! I don't want a c-section, but that's looking more and more likely as each day passes by with NO contractions!!!

 

To start contractions - use castor oil and orange juice. make a shot half & half. Its horrible to drink, just plug your nose and guzzle. you will start pooping and then the contractions start. be sure to keep drinking so you dont dehydrate yourself. you can read about it if you google self-induced labor.

 

The breast pump is the same as nipple stimulation and that might work! And dtd only really works if you orgasm, sorry!

 

[SIZE=12pt]I heard if you have a glass or two of wine, it will relax your body and shouldn't harm the baby at this point. I don't know, maybe it is an old wives tale.

no suggestion just HUGS!!!

 

I tried:

• Walking
• Walking on an inclined treadmill
• Spicy food

Good luck! :hug99: I know where you are right now. I really wanted vaginal and got it. I was worried if I went much longer they would insist on a c-section! Take care...

 

nipple stimulation worked for me with ds#3 - break out that breast pump!!! You have one comfortable baby!! I am sending you some good labor vibes!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One of the other many things I tried with my last pregnancy was eating LOTS of fresh pineapple for a few days in a row. I read somewhere that that was a labor stimulator.
