Can I has baby now?
This is getting tiresome.
I borrowed Mom's yoga ball in hopes that bouncing around on it will urge the little one on a bit. We'll see how that goes.
Anyone have any suggestions for self inducement?
I know 3 days is not a whole lot to be supposedly overdue, but I want it out!
almost...there.....

Dear Sonya,
ReplyDeleteFor David I went horseback riding, then skipped rope 200 times, then jumped off the picnic table, and promptly went into labor. Of course it was a very nice day in May so it was a LITTLE easier. Thinking of you and praying that this little one gets here soon Love joyce
heard that sex is a good inducer! Don't know if it actually works though. My doctor's theory was that it is a myth invented by men. Take comfort that that baby has to come out some time, it can't stay in there forever!
ReplyDeleteI realize that this comment is late, but "Quinton and Andrea" were right about sex, speaking as a NICU nurse. It releases oxytocin, which is the same hormone that makes your uterus contract. In fact, it's a synthetic version "syntocin" that they give women in the hospital to induce labour.
