I think this is the first time I'm officially asking for some dust during this pregnancy. I am so grateful that I've had such an easy pregnancy, but now it's time to get the show on the road!
Last Thursday at my weekly check I was 3cm and station -1. OB stripped my membranes and said if he doesn't come by today I can schedule to be induced this Wednesday. I just officially talked myself out of it because I have so many signs pointing towards "any day now" that I don't see the point of unnecessary interventions. But now I'm hoping I didn't jinx myself and am worried if he doesn't come any day now he'll be too big and I'll end up needing a c-section. ![]()
So I guess what I'm asking for is some labor dust to get this show on the road naturally. Water breaking, contractions, anything! And if anyone has any natural labor inducing remedies they swear by, I'm trying every and anything at this point! Thanks!!

Throwing a huge pile of labor/progress dust all over you!
When I worked at Otto, I waited on at least three regulars who went to have lunch or dinner there and then went into labor the same day or the next. I think it's probably just coincidence, but heck, why not try? The food's yummy!

::::labor dust by the truckload::::
I really hope things get started on their own very soon. I tried everything (minus caster oil) to jump start labor with Lily and I ended up needing an induction.
All the best to you, I know the waiting really stinks!
