I'm so antsy I've actually thought the words 'castor oil'. Don't worry, I'm not going that far. But I ate an entire pineapple yesterday. I'm basically of the opinion that these 'tricks' are 98% to make us feel a little more in control and 2% to do with actual results.
Thank goodness your hubs is coming home @hissunshinelove !! That will make things better even if your LO still waits to show up. Slurpees and lovin' make for a good night haha I'm glad I could help make you feel better! I've said it before and ill say it again, it's so awesome that I have people to share this misery/joy with these days lol we're in this together
@lwyz i can't lie, castor oil crossed my mind but i figured i should get the same results with a Big Mac right?! lmao
I think DH and i need to bone tonight. I will not survive past this weekend!!
Aww @hissunshinelove don't feel guilt or shame, just cause i had a mcdonalds hiatus doesn't mean i havent gorged on ice cream nearly every day. I figured i would have been a healthier pregnant lady but slurpees and raisinets won every time lol. I'm almost 90 mins post Mickey D's and still no baby. I guess i need a long walk tonight despite how much i'm dreading it because of painful pelvic pressure.
Never though i'd be this antsy to get this baby out. I can't take any more texts or phone calls asking about where this child is. BRING ON BABY TIME
I had sex this morning. Didn't go into labor, but I did have to take a pee break about 80% of the way through it, and by that point, I was pretty much done and considered just getting dressed and going to work......But, I finished. Our rather, we finished. Wife of the year! #thethingsidotoavoidhearingthatexhasperatedsigh
Watch an intense movie, Target shop, Dawn soap cleaning spree with magic erasers, eat chili? Gif a lot! Also, make plans to NOT have baby yet= have a baby.
40 weeks today. I ate a whole pineapple last night. This morning feeling nauseous and having loose stool. Not so sure it was worth it. Been up since 4 am and unable to go back to sleep.
There's supposed to be a thunderstorm here Monday night, plus a full moon on Tuesday and my due date on Tuesday... Maybe I'll actually give birth on my due date?! Haha.
ETA: ...maybe I'll go to Target on Monday, too. Just in case.
39+5... Sex isn't working, apparently, but damn, it's fun. I tried putting off my end of the month reviews for work till the last minute in hopes of invoking sod's law, but that isn't working and now I have to do them this evening before I clock out... But I think I'm going to get creative with the schedule and go ahead and start my leave and do some jumping jacks or something.
40+4 here....I've been walking, squatting, pineapple eating, having sex and still nothing. My best friend who was due July 7th gave birth yesterday so I went to see her in the hospital hoping it get my little girl to come out. Still waiting......she's dropped a little bit more but nothing crazy. No induction date set yet, just u/s and not on Wednesday. Going to see fireworks tonight, maybe that will help.
41+2 and have officially lost my sense of humour. The fact that the board is now almost all baby related is really irritating me. I'm just a grumpy witch today.

Yes! I feel the same!! I want to talk about baby too!!! I was really hoping he would be here early

It doesn't help when you've heard your whole pregnancy that your going to go early. Obviously got my hopes up a little bit, silly girl I should have known better

Same!! Literally everyone was Convinced he would come early. So I just believed them... Bad choice! Here I am 40+2 and no signs of labor.
Baby was due yesterday. Did a lot of walking this weekend, but nothing is happening. I'm just really uncomfortable & getting tired of having to tell everyone who calls that the baby is NOT coming yet. Ugh.
Re: What did you try/are you trying to help induce labor naturally??
Hubby is finally coming home tonight after being gone for several weeks. I'm hoping some long overdue loving will get the job done.
8->
ETA: Now I want a slurpee. Mmmm a cherry one. Thank you for making me feel better. :x

Looks like it'll end up being a July baby. Good thing I like rubies haha
There's a major storm brewing right now so maybe that will get things going?!
Might have to hit up target... During the storm... That should definitely work!
ETA: ...maybe I'll go to Target on Monday, too. Just in case.
Went to Target, bought a pineapple, will eat entire pineapple tonight then go on a long walk

I'm off to an acupuncture appointment - trying anything these days.
