Left my appt with a pumpkin ravioli prescription

My dr is on vacation this week so I had to see one of the midwives. I love her dearly but she gave me NO useful information. She refused to do an exam so I have no clue on progress. I know, I know...they are useless.....but as a planner I like to know these things. Then she told me to go get pumpkin raviolis this weekend to speed things along. Really? Has anyone heard of this???

I have not heard this, but the subject was so intriguing I had to read it!

I have heard about Eggplant...but not pumpkin ravioli!? Sounds yummy though!!!

I was kind of disappointed when my OB didnt check me yesterday during my appointment...the last time I had an internal was at 36 weeks.  I'd like to know that I've started to progress since then! 

I have not heard of pumpkin raviolis speeding things up.  Off to google I go!

I've heard pineapple, basil, and oregano are supposed to help, but of course they're all old wives tales. There's really nothing she can tell you, other than that you'll be having this baby in the next month.

Pumpkin is a natural laxative so maybe it will clean you out and somehow get you going? No idea... lol

Sorry your appointment was a bust!  Yesterday when I went to mine my OB was at the hospital delivering a baby and they were like you can reschedule or just wait and I waited for 45 min to an hour just because I wanted to know how much progress (if any) I had made. lol

Did you ask for an internal?

I've never heard of pumpkin ravioli doing anything for labor, but now I want some ravioli!

This sounds exactly like my appt today! I love midwives but even i thought this was crazy. She wouldnt check me but she prescribed pumpkin ravioli, orgasm, tubby! Yes i laughed out loud and said "in that order?" and she said "yes." The pumpkin i guess gets your digestive track going, orgasm gets your uterus to contract, and the tubby will get you muscles to relax and prepare your body for the upcoming event!!!! I hate pumpkin tasting things but hey i may give it a try!!!!
