good luck I hope her contractions start coming on more regularily soon. I found with my clients that manuel stimulation works much better then the pump....
Oh how exciting! If you need any other suggestions about getting things going let us know...but luckily most women go into labour on their own with 24 hours (and up to 96 hours) after having their waters break!
Keep us updated and let her know we are thinking of her!
I just went through this at 38 wks 6 days with ds2. It was 36 hours before labor started (with the help of acupuncture induction and a castor oil-verbena-almond butter-apricot juice cocktail my midwife prescribed). Labor was quick once it started (4.5 hrs.). Don't get discouraged if things don't get rolling right away - amniotic fluid continuously replenishes itself if your wife stays hydrated!
How exciting! Sending easy labor vibes to your wife, and calm daddy vibes to you. Be sure to keep us posted when you can, and don't leave out those newborn pics!
Oh goodness, how did I miss this? Wow, how exciting! Keep us posted on your DW's progress, hope everything goes fantastically for you both! ELV's for her!
