What I've Resorted To

Castor Oil. I know many of you are probably cringing at the thought. It is really the lesser of two evils to me. Since I tend to go way past my due date, the midwife will soon want to try to get my labor started anyway. While I would choose this over Pitocin in the hospital any day, it is still not pleasant. If you want to know how a homebirth midwife can induce labor, I'd be happy to share with you. So I have decided to try to get something started on my own even if I spend all day in the bathroom. My friend came by last night and checked me and I have made a little more progress. She thought that the castor oil would probably go ahead and put me into labor today so I thought I would try. I have already taken my first dose and will take the next in a couple of hours. Then we will wait and see. So maybe my next post today will be that I'm in labor. Continue to pray for me and baby please!! And thanks for all your encouraging comments on my last post!
