Well, it's FINALLY Friday and it's a BEAUTIFUL day! I met my friend Sarah for lunch today and she gave me some of the cutest baby gifts! Thank you Sarah! I can't wait to start using all my baby stuff :) While we were at lunch she was telling me about the miracle of Castor Oil and labor. A friend of hers tried it with both children and said it worked like a charm. I had heard about it before but was afraid to try it - but we were talking about how I'm not really progressing, etc so I said "What the heck!" I'm gonna try it tonight and see if it gets anything going tomorrow. I'll try anything if it will make the whole labor / induction process go faster. Of course there are people who are gonna tell me "Don't do it!" but it's too late! I already bought it ;) ha ha
My last appointment was yesterday. Still only dilated to one cm. The Dr stripped my membranes again and I was in some serious pain last night. I was thinking "WOOHOO, This is IT!" but nope - I was wrong! ha ha. About an hour or two later I was feeling better. Oh well, it got me off my butt and got me to pack my bag , finally :)
This evening I'm gonna go out to dinner with some of the other wives, and then come home and pray that this "home remedy" actually works. I had a dream yesterday that he was here! I woke up disappointed..LoL.
I'll keep ya'll posted on the outcome of the Castor Oil - I know you're just dying to know all the "juicy" details. ;)
So, I don't know much about pregnancy...I'm definitely on my way to google.com to figure out this Castor Oil thing! :)
