I had to be induced last pregnancy with Scarlett because she was just too comfy and I went a week past due....I'm really HOPING that I don't have to be induced again. I was in labor for close to 24 hours and was very tired when it was all over. I think that my body was just not ready yet...
I've started to prepare a little bit earlier this time around.
-Bag is packed
-Everything is washed and organized
-I've started walking every other day to help the baby drop
-I've also started rocking and bouncing on my exercise ball (It opens your hips)
-I've been orally taking Evening primrose. It helps soften the cervix.
-Drinking some pregnancy tea
So hopefully some of these things might prepare me a little bit this time around...I plan on doing lots of other "activities" to help speed things up after my 38 weeks appt. tomorrow such as:
-I'm going to try eating some spicy food
-Make some eggplant parmesian
-Take some hot baths
-Walking more
-Do the "deed" Ugh!
And last but not least, as a LAST resort I plan on trying Castor Oil. I will only try it after my due date and maybe have my doctor strip my membranes too.
I'm really crossing my fingers that I wont make it that far, but you never know. My babies love to stay put!!
As much as I complain about being uncomfortable and "ready" to be done, I've can't help but be excited and happy to meet my little miracle. I'm excited to introduce her to this crazy world & her big sisters! I'm curious to know who she is going to be and what kind of personality she will have! I hope she is just like Scarlett because she has been such a blessing and cracks us up everyday!!
Well I will continue to patiently wait for my babygirl to arrive and enjoy the simplicity of only having one child.....Next time I check in I will hopefully be posting some newborn pics!!
I had to end this post with the cutest little picture of Scarlett playing soccer!!
