We went to the doc yesterday. Once again, baby and myself are looking good. Doctor said my cervix is effaced completely, but I still have not begun to dilate. He gave me a 40% chance of going into labor by my due date. In fact, he already scheduled me for an induction for June 2. To be honest we were both so surprised! So now I guess we start trying all those ideas people say will make me go into labor:
Mexican food
sex
nipple stimulation
walking/exercising
a trip to the town dump (no kidding!)
pedicures (I've already had 2)
castor oil (no thanks!)
acupuncture
Do you really think any of these work? I don't know. Doctor says the babies come when they are ready and there's nothing we can really do about it--naturally. We'll keep you posted.

sex, ha. the last thing on your mind. i kept active. walk , walk, walk. gravity is designed for a reason.
This is Sam...I beg to differ. ;)
A friend of mine who is a massage therapist says they do not massage the ankles/feet of pregnant women because there is something there that stimulates labor. Maybe that is why pedicures are on the list? Sam, massage her feet and maybe it could lead to something else on the list!
