1 whole pineapple core eaten to help "naturally" induce labor
1 grilled eggplant to assist the pineapple
countless varies of spicy food
11 days of maternity leave
2 phone calls to the doctor - just to give myself peace of mind
2 trips to the labor & delivery to monitor baby
1 more appointment this afternoon
we are happy to report that kato is healthy and has a very strong heartbeat. his heartbeat rises appropriately with movement. my blood pressure is still great. contractions have gotten stronger, but still have yet to regulate. seems that kato is completely content on making me wait.
keep up the good work!!! There is not really a 'due' date, is when baby is ready - it should be called 'guess' date.
ReplyDeleteI ate TONS of pineapple towards the end of my pregnancy and tried sex (lol), spicy foods and also rose primrose oil vaginally and orally. It worked like a charm. Tho remember the first kid may always be past due but not really past due, it is just that is the first time for YOUR body.
Check out this page:
Natural or Non-Pharmaceutical Induction
Don't let them cut you! If you are healthy, no need for a major abdominal surgery to take a baby out. Inducing you will only result of a c-section or altering baby's heart beat, for a later c-section.
