Lobster to induce labor?

Mouseygail · July 2010

Someone just told me that lobster has natural "pitocen" in it...lol! I think I might pass this along to DH just to get a lovely dinner out of it! Anyone heard this one before? I didn't really find anything concrete while googling.

Oh man, now THERE'S a rumor I wouldn't mind starting.

Then again, it might get twisted so that the 1st tris are all about avoiding it, like they do ginger. (!?!?!?!)

My neighbor was telling me purple foods.. like eggplant, grapes.. I have no idea the reasoning and I never bothered to look it up either.

Someone told me that last week, too! I had never heard of it. She said it worked with both of her kids.

ohhh try it! But I heard you have to eat 3 lobster tails :-)

I am so telling my H this is true in about 8 weeks.

"Honey, I read this article saying that diamonds are supposed to induce labor."

"Apparently there's something in Haagen Daz that's suppoed to induce labor. Only Haagen Daz, though, not cheap ice cream."

Oh, I could go all day.

Hmm, that's one thing I wouldn't mind giving a try in about 8 weeks )

Well it's definitely worth a try, and delicious anyhow

I have heard eggplant parmesean, it was HUGE when I was on 3rd tri last summer with DD

Never heard of lobster doing that but heyit's worth a try! The eggplant parmesean however did not work for me...but wa actually good considering I have never ate eggplant before!

Maybe there is merit to the rumor?

Exactly! And it has to be a Maine lobster tail! None of that rock lobster crap!

I never heard of that...but if that's the case....it didn't work for me.

Ironically, DH took me out to our favorite resturant last weekend as our "last nice dinner out for a while" and I got the lobster...Ate a pound and a half...No labor for me....

And the diamond comment is a hoot! bhahahaha

Then that is false for me too. DH surprised me with diamond stud earrings for my early push present...no labor....but maybe I should run it by DH again....ahem...I need more diamonds if you want this baby out...hahahaha j/k
