I'm sure you've had the baby by now, but I was a week overdue with my first. She was 10 lbs 3. It was a cinch. :) I bet the contractions started the moment you hit “post” … !

I'm sending you good vibes and I'm hoping they feel like a massage (which I'd give you if you were next door). No lies, both mine were easy. I wish your delivery run smooth and painless, Ella. Much love to you and your family. Ooh… I’m sending you good vibes and I’m hoping they feel like a massage (which I’d give you if you were next door).

Both times. Everything else just made me uncomfortable (or miserable). Summer www.summerlouise.com The only thing that worked for me was having the Doctor break my water. Both times.

I'm so sorry!!! However, maybe it was serendipity that I did, at this point, because I'm a former labor assistant and can give you a few pointers if you want to get this party started. 1. Don't do the castor oil thing. While it does work for some people, if your cervix is not totally ripe it will just give you miserable cramps and diarrhea. 2. Instead, put an Evening Primrose Oil capsule in your vagina twice a day. 3. Best one of all: HAVE A LOT OF SEX. A lot. Semen is the best thing for ripening a cervix (even swallowed!) and orgasms are the best things to get your contractions moving... Good luck and I'll be back!!
