and still no baby. At my midwifes reccomendation (after we asked her if there was any safe and natural way to "encourage" baby along) I am trying the cohoshes... becuase while I TRULY DO NOT want to induce medically, I would really like this child to be born while my mom is still here... she got here saturday and is leaving next tuesday, and I was really hoping to have her here for a few days anyway after baby is born to help out and just get to visit with her newest grandbaby.
I considered trying Castor Oil, but decided that might be too yucky, unless as a last resort before induction... and the only reason I will consider induction is if this baby goes too far overdue and appears to not be doing well anymore. Which essentially means if baby has not appeared within a couple weeks, as icky as it sounds right now to potentially be pregnant for that long.
My midwife said that if I have not had baby by next weeks appointment, then she would like to have a nst done and possibly a bpp (if the nst shows anything to be ocncerned over) and that would help decide if induction were nesecary. while I have been all along doing minimal testing, that seems like a fair thing to do, considering that at that point, I would rather be sure bay is still doing good.
Hopefully, though, baby will come in the next day or two, and I won't have to worry about it.
Although, I am slightly irritated with DH and my mom, who spent last night deciding that I am hormonal and my personality has changed (because I got mad at DH for something he was doing wrong) they think that means I will go into labour today. I don't know. I don't feel any different really...
besides, I am always getting mad at DH for something dumb he does... he has very little common sense.

I hope it goes soon for you.
