We tried all the usual: curry/pineapple/raspberry leaf tea/walking/sex/nipple stimulation.
Haha...I *did not know* about nipple stimulation!
We think curry did it for us.

Damn sex was what got us into the situation in the first place. Not doing that again.

Walking kicked it all off for me I think - late night (i.e. leaving at 11.30pm) trip to IKEA wandering round the whole thing, contractions started 4 hours later.

my mom dragged me around a mall for FIVE HOURS and it did nothing!

Still nothing. Sam's getting fed up now. Getting induced tomorrow.

Right about now I guess! Fingers crossed for you.

excitement!

Our first one was induced, but the induction didn't take until almost 36 hours later, so we had a "wonderful" three days in the hospital waiting, walking, waiting, arguing about walking and waiting,.... We had to stay because they broke her water manually, and so she was "technically" in labor I guess despite having basically no contractions for about 20 hours after being admitted. At that point she was nearly 2 weeks overdue, so things got tense re. c-section (doctors sorta wanted to do it, we strongly didn't). #2 was induced too but was easier; #3 just popped out as I guess #3s are wont to do.

i had a dream last night that i started getting contractions so my mom took me to the hospital where all of my extended family were hanging out and getting high with their friends. the contractions went away and everyone got mad at me for making them go to the hospital under false pretenses. as payback, on the drive home my mom dropped me off in some dark alley in a strange city where i had no idea where i was or how to get back to the hospital. THANKS, MOM.

you can stay minimally dilated for quite some time, though, right?

― mookieproof, Thursday, 15 October 2009 22:20 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah i think the rapid effacement was more of the concern. xp
anything for you, mookieproof.
