Your story sounds just like me when I was waiting for 2L baby, Jackson, to be born. Two days before my due date my blood pressure was up and they talked about inducing me...and then sent me home. I was so tired of being pregnant, on bedrest, and I cussed out my dad when he assured me to just relax and the baby will get here eventually. Emotional outburts are better than castor oil. I went into labor a few hours later.Stacy Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16478915913653072680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3951294091097021052.post-82061046094266579812008-08-02T09:34:00.000-07:002008-08-02T09:34:00.000-07:00Thank you, Molly!

(And congrats on your babies -- I knew you had a little girl but didn't know about your son! So fun.)Emiliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10805649155300518790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3951294091097021052.post-90356220364350472052008-08-01T18:39:00.000-07:002008-08-01T18:39:00.000-07:00Emily,I linked into your blog through someone else...Emily,<BR/><BR/>I linked into your blog through someone else's. I'm not sure if you remember me or not but we were in the same law school class. I just thought I would put in my cents about going into labor. . . I have two children (a girl and a boy). My daughter was born 3 years ago by unplanned c-section after I was induced at 40 weeks. The month before she was born, I was told that I was 3 cent dialated. I stayed that way until she was born and I went all the way to my due date. My son was born last September. I was scheduled for a c-section. The day he was born I went to the doctor and he told me that I wasn't dialated or thinned. He said that I would definitely make it to my scheduled c-section date. I went into labor, two weeks early, that night and had a 9 pound baby. Go figure. The big moment could come any time now! No matter when it actually comes, you will be surprised. I will keep you and the baby in my prayers. <BR/>Molly Hornsby LeeMollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15476321641458927612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3951294091097021052.post-32842916941337020552008-08-01T18:07:00.000-07:002008-08-01T18:07:00.000-07:00vaI highly recommend a pregnancy massage, if you h...vaI highly recommend a pregnancy massage, if you haven't had one already. Even if you have had one already- I didn't get mine until Nathan's due date.<BR/><BR/>My massage therapist friend claimed it would help make labor easier, too, and I think maybe it did, but regardless, it was nice.<BR/><BR/>And Miss Jackson will be here before you know it- I remember how agonizing the wait is, but try to enjoy your alone time while you still have it.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16997053182745815097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3951294091097021052.post-83801338431407913102008-08-01T12:44:00.000-07:002008-08-01T12:44:00.000-07:00I tried several things on the day my water broke w...I tried several things on the day my water broke with Charlie, some I will never tell and some I will. One was castor oil. If nothing else, its nice to get cleaned out before the big push :)Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16350681244251888372noreply@blogger.com
