Since none of the OWTs have worked...

I tried an hour swim in a really warm pool tonight. All the down low pressure I got was the need to PEE so bad - barely made to the locker room. Oh well, belly got nice & soft and the extended family and I decided to play "guess the body part" since we could so easily feel so much of The Baby.

It was relaxing anyway.

My masseuse said if you pinch the meaty part of your hand between your thumb and forefinger, it'll put you into labor. She said the same will happen if you gently massage the inside of your legs from your ankles, up through your thighs. Since you're trying things... Good luck!

I had contractions for about two weeks before Emma was born. Every night for about 5 hours. I went on a long walk and got my nightly contractions I started to massage the skin between pointer and thumb and they got stronger to the point of making my water that night. I totally believe in this to help strengthen your contractions. I also believe that my body was just right there at the edge an needed that push. I massaged so hard and long that I had bruises for about a week after! Good luck

My best friend swears by castor oil she went into labor with both after doing it. I wasn't brave enough. I tried sex, labor cookies, spicy food, and long walks. I had prodormal labor for two weeks...I feel your pain! Hugs! Sending lots labor dust your way.

I hope it happens for you soon! Only thing that helped me was keeping really busy up until the end and having sex a lot! Sounds like you are plenty busy so keep on trying!

The only thing that ever worked for me was Pitocin.  Though I did threaten to buy a trampoline last time. 

Sorry I'm not any help - I just wanted to let you know I'm thinkin bout ya!

Oh - have you been eating fresh pineapple?  It's suppose to weaken the cervix.  My SIL ate one over a couple days and had her baby the 3rd day.  Although I ate 2 over the 2  days and NOTHING.

I bought Primrose oil and Castor oil but wimped out.  There's always nipple stimulation.

omigosh, I should have bought stock in Dole with all the pineapple I've eaten. Primrose oil since 35 weeks, Red Raspberry leaf since 34, sex (so not fun), nipple stim, have considered the trampoline, walk about 45 min every night with DH after the kids are in bed, the ginger "labor cookies", spicy food... the ONLY thing I haven't tried is castor oil, but I don't want to be miserable AND miserable.

Oh my...   clearly you've just gotten so good at this pregnancy thing that you've made the accommodations too comfy.  I feel for you, but I must say the miserable AND miserable line is classic.

Maybe he really wants to be a Christmas baby.

Reverse psychology:

Stay there, baby!! We want you to stay in there. No need to come out. Nobody anxious over here. Just a giant party going on. You probably won't even like warm milk, cozy blankets and not swimming in your own pee. Just hang out awhile longer.

Man-- I was hoping to hear some good news from you today, m2m!  I'm thinking a Christmas baby is becoming a bigger possibility!  Lots of luck!

Hey, see you're still trying to get the babes out!!  Since I literally tried everything in the book (including bumpy roads), I would see if there's anyone who can get you into accupunture today or accupressure massage, but also I would highly recommend black and/or blue cohosh tea.  Not sure where you'd find it in your area... whole foods might have it or somewhere funky like an accupunturist/herbalist.  It is supposed to induce labor and therefore NOT to be drank during pregnancy.  But I drank a concoction and felt the smallest of movements, it was the only thing that made any sort of difference for me.  And I would NOT rec castor oil!  The hemorrhoids alone are ... ugh shudder. However, I would probably do it again to avoid a c/s.  Have they stripped your membranes or done a cervical catheter? 

Thinking of you and praying this baby comes JUST when God and the baby are ready!

My mw cautiously suggested black cohosh - but wasn't sure with me having a previous cs if it might be too vigorous. She totally endorsed RRL - which I have been taking. I wish an acupuncturist would have occured to me - there is one I trust here, but now it's late in the day & everyone is closed early today. I would have gone to the chiro, but he's closed all this week. 

I'm trying to be patient. I was almost so desperate this am I almost called my mw to just beg her to break my water. Of course, if it doesn't cause things to start, then we're back at the cs conversation. Yep, God's timing is a hard thing to wait for today.
