Can't seem to make up my mind

Yesterday, I was so happy to surrender to the baby's timing. She's coming when she wants to, in her own time. I was OK. I felt like I wasn't going to be pregnant forever and I was actually starting to feel like I didn't have to do anything.

This morning, I feel totally different. After reading the castor oil thread, I find myself thinking. Well why can't I do that? Why can't I speed this up? She won't come if she's truly not ready - so why can't I "urge" her out/on?

Ugh. I'm all conflicted about it.

i'm right there with ya! i'm only 1 day post date but i'm already contemplating natural induction methods. but then i think...what if he's not in optimal position yet? what if i get things going & he's acynclitic? this makes me more nervous than waiting it out so i just continue doing squats & forward positions to let him come in his own time.

it's funny how, as a doula, i can suggest all these natural induction things to my clients but when it comes to myself i don't want to do any of it! give me another week, though, and i may be rethinking things.....

acynclitic??
ok color me stupid but what is this?

[koru]

acynclitic is when Baby's head is tilted sideways or the neck is flexed (not tucked down). does that make sense?

[kittn]

yes makes sense now
