Things people have suggested I do to go into labor:
- Eat raspberries
- Drink raspberry leaf tea
- Drink black cohosh tea
- Eat the greasiest possible meal
- Eat a huge steak dinner
- Eat spicy foods
- Take long walks
- Take a bumpy drive
- Drink a beer
- Eat Eggplant Parmesan
- Do reflexology
- Have sex
- Stimulate nipples
- "Let him ejaculate in you" (exact quote)
I am 10 months pregnant and desperate enough to have tried most of these suggestions; it's been a weird week. It is all bullshit, by the way. This stuff is just what these people happen to be doing right before they went into labor. If I were going to speak from my experience I'd tell an over ripe pregnant woman to give someone a haircut. Why is my suggestion obviously insulting but the list above not?
The only things I've heard from my midwife about labor induction are "stripping the membrane" and "pitocin" (oh, and something about sex after stripping the membrane... sounds appealing).

Grace, you should be a comedian. Nathan and I had a good laugh with this entry. We know who suggested the last one, because there is only one person who would say such a thing and we love her. We love you too. So happy she is finally here and your belly is free from the weight. Blessings! Melodee
