I was induced with pitocin for being "over-due" last time and do NOT want that to happen again!!! I'm not ready to start encouraging quite yet, but wondering what people might have had success with to get things going naturally. My mother used castor oil with me and my sister and keeps telling me to do that when the time comes, but I am SOOOO not comfortable doing that. I worry about mec because my first had it and it was scary to watch her have to be suctioned after aspirating it, not to mention the rough few weeks following that with her breathing. Hopefully I won't get to the point where they say I'm way too far overdue, but after last time I just worry.

This book feels good in your hands. The paper is heavyweight, and the illustrations flow perfectly.
