Trying to get something started tonight

[pixiesmommy]

I've been crampy in my back all day, gassy, miserable, contrax coming and going... just ready and frustrated at this point.

So far tonight:

Ate lasagna with TONS of basil and oregano
Drank a quart of RRL tea
Took 1500mg of EPO
Ate a whole can of pineapple (yeah, I know it's supposed to be fresh, but that's all I had on hand and figured it couldn't hurt!)

Not too thrilled with the midwife that is on call tonight though, since I've only seen her once. Hopefully if anything happens, it will gear up tomorrow after the shift change!

Probably try the breast pump tomorrow if nothing progresses any tonight. Castor oil scares me some because I've heard such horror stories of meconium or horrible bathroom episodes but no labor. I have enough going on the poopy dept. without inflicting anything else!!

((SIGH)) I just figure if I'm ready this will work, and if not, then what have I lost? Maybe I'm softening and ripening something if nothing else.

Mmmmm. Lasagne and pineapple sounds yummy. At least you're eating well if nothing else. Good luck mama.

Your forgetting SEX

[scheelimama]

Yep, I was gonna' add sex. Worked for me.

[pixiesmommy]

Yeah, we thought of that (sex.) Unfortunately, it's out of the question
I'm just too big. I don't know how any of you do it!!

Waiting to try the breastpump... a little afraid to even try "natural" things in case baby just isn't ready. Might let this go until the weekend and then see what I feel like then.

Have a m/w appt tomorrow evening.

Still crampy and contracting. They have gotten as close as 3 minutes and they woke me up tonight... impossible to say how close I am at this point though. Still no loss of mucous plug, no bloody show, no leaking AF. A sign would be nice!!

My water started leaking tonight and I really had no symptoms before this other than being grumpy and pooping a lot.

Now suddenly my back hurts, sporadic cx's and my water is leaking every time I move.

Your time's coming too, with or without symptoms!

I'm with ya. I' eating a fresh pineapple as I type...
