I just got off the phone with my sister and she told me there's a meal at OG that helps with labor. She hadn't heard about it when she was pregnant so she doesn't know the details but people swear by it. She said it's something with eggplant??? I googled it and, while people have heard the same thing, they are saying it's the salad/salad dressing?? I have never heard this! Can anyone fill in the blanks on this one? This is definitely one of the more random things I've heard, but you never know...
The old wives' tale is that eggplant parmigiana will cause a women to go into labor. I don't think it's specific to Olive Garden, just eggplant parmigiana generally.
LOL I've heard there's a restaurant in Georgia (Scalini's) with a specific eggplant parmigiana recipe that is "supposed" to induce labor. Also I think there's a restaurant in LA with a labor salad or something. I've never heard the Olive Garden thing. Thinking about it makes me want some breadsticks though!
Someone told me that eggplant parmigan would do the trick, so I went to the store to buy an eggplant yesterday. They didn't have any because of a freeze somewhere. Go figure!
I heard the eggplant Parm/ basal stuff too when I was pregnant with DD. Ate twice, at 39 and 40 weeks. she was born via csection ( never went into labor and her HR was super high) at 41 weeks. So I think all those induces labor tales are a crock! But good luck to you!!
i had eggplant rollatini twice the week i went into labor with DS1. had half of eggplant rollatini yesterday and will have the 2nd half tonight. i think it's just the eggplant, doesn't matter if it's parmesan or not.

My prenatal class gave us a print out of the Scalini's recipe. It's supposed to work.. but if it doesn't, you still have a tasty sounding dinner!
I just ate at Olive Garden Friday night...and it didn't do a thing! haha.
No one get your hopes up!
