Well I can check those off the list.

Ok well I am now able to report two more things that do not work for "natural" inductions.

1. Grapefruit and pineapple- Ok really, who came up with this? Probably some husband wanting to torture his wife. All this did was give me raging incurable heartburn. Ouch!

2. Bump car rides- Yeah I some how managed to get my fat pregnant but up into out lifted old 4x4 suburban, quite the entertainment for the neighbors I'm sure; then DH drove me through a muddy field. Yup, didn't work. They kids thought it was a ton of fun though.

Alrightly baby, I'm 3 days overdue come out! I am glad to report that my DH seemed to induce my BP going high and by talking to him and adding another magnesium supplement to my diet my BP is down. Yeay!

One a slightly hilarious note, my midwifes office keeps track of patients on computer tablet that they can write on etc, well after my induction attempt they locked my files and can't re-open them, so I am now a nonexistent ghost patient, LOL. I'm hoping they forgot why they wanted to induce me in the first place and give me a bit more time.

hmmm... think i'll be skipping the pineapple myself. i ate it a few weeks ago and thought my throat ripping in half. hello heartburn city!!!

I had pineapple yesterday, too, and had the worst heartburn all day. I think I'll pass on that again.

Right now I'm going with the natural induction method of a full moon...that means Sunday night!

Luckily I don't get heartburn anymore so I'm thinking of trying the pineapple again, it was really good! lol

i don't get heartburn either, and now i'm *dying* for some pineapple!

oh, and it's a good thing bumpy roads don't induce labor - i live down a dirt road i do get a wicked BH every time we turn off the paved road, though, have for months!

that is funny that they can't access your records. maybe they'll forget they even tried to induce you!

Nope. Didn't I tell you I have Guinness here and I am going for the record of most overdue baby! And I still need to send you your package! Eep! I'm going to have to do that today!

OMG I saw Guinness and thought you were saying you had the beer there. YUM.
It might take your mind off the overdue-ness though.

mmmm beer I had no idea I'd miss beer of all things while pregnant...

How about basil salad and accupressure massage?

I did accupunture twice, don't have the money to try again, but DH has massaged the points. I may try to do the basil salad tomorrow. Thanks for the idea. The midwife told Dh his homework was to play with my nipps and have sex at least once a day, he was very happy about that, LOL.
