i am with you...on saturday i probably walked the most, and had the least contractions!
i will try eggplant...sounds yummy if nothing else
do you have a drs appt before you get induced? what did your dr say they would do; pitocin?
Oh yes, if nothing else, eggplant was pretty good. I really liked it anyway! I might get some more this week just b/c it was pretty tasty : )
I do have a dr's appt before I get induced, on Wednesday. The doctor is supposed to check me again and see if there is any progress (I was 1.5 cm dilated and 50% effaced at 37 weeks and he hasn't checked since then), and we are supposed to discuss the actual process of induction at that appt, so I have no idea what the plan really is right now.

I'm due in 8 days too! Last Tuesday I wasn't dilated and was 50% effaced with not much else going on. I get checked again tomorrow -- hoping for at least a little progress but I'm not expecting much as it seems pretty common for 1st pregnancies to go past the due date. I've been having a few contractions (not sure if they're BH or not) but nothing consistent. I think the strongest ones have probably been in the middle of the night.
I've been taking EPO 3x a day and I know I should be drinking red raspberry leaf tea, but I don't really like it. I made a pitcher and stuck it in the fridge but haven't had any in a while. Maybe if I mix it with some juice. And unfortunately I'm supposed to rest due to high bp so not much walking going on here, but I try to sit on the birthing ball a little bit each day.
Why are they planning to induce you early? Just curious--I don't remember you ever posting about HBP or any other issues.
According to my doctor, due to the size of my baby. He's been monitoring the size of LO and although I know u/s can be inaccurate when it comes to weight, he's been consistently measuring large since 29 weeks. And then, my doctor does his "scheduled" inductions on Sundays so he can come on Monday during his normal hours. I have to say, the Sunday thing is mostly for HIS convenience. I was told that I wasn't being allowed to go one day past my due date and he ended up scheduling for Sunday based on his own convenience I guess as well.

Got it. Here's some labor dust to you to get things going!! I think you'll go into labor on your own this Friday.
