I suppose
... I owe everybody an update on what is supposed to be the end of my pregnancy. I just don't really know what to tell you. I've had several promising labor symptoms, but I'm told it could be just as easily tomorrow as in a week. Speaking of week - it seems I'm approaching a birth-deadline: if I don't manage to go into labor on my own in the next 7 days, I'm very likely to be receiving some medical "help". I am NOT happy about this. I've been quite confident my body would be able to know how to release this baby and I don't like being told otherwise.
Soooo... I am going to try really hard to meet this deadline. ;) I guess it doesn't help that I'm equally leary of "natural" induction methods as I am of medical ones (did you know what castor oil really does?!), so my "trying" basically means "really really wanting" to give birth soon. Surprisingly I haven't found a website that suggests that "really really wanting to" is a successful method of induction. But I could be first, huh? I'll let you know in a few days if the experiment is working...
Oh, Dinka, you must feel like a watched pot that never boils.
That castor oil stuff looks nasty. Don't take it and don't doubt your own body. It knows exactly what to do and when to do it.
In a relatively short amount of time, you WILL have a baby in your arms. And all of this waiting will seem like a big blur.
For what it's worth, I'm still betting on Saturday. :-)
If you ask me, this is just screaming to be gambled upon... Maryanne has Saturday, I'm going to vote for Friday (as in tomorrow) and if not then Sunday.
The winner of this bet will win my favorite online gambling prize... absolutely nothing except for the satisfaction of being correct :)
I may just have to start a poll somewhere...
Well, i actally also wanted to bet on Friday (today!).Is it still possible?
