Move Along People, Move Along... Nothing To See Here

Well, we are back home-with the baby still in the tummy.

My husband and I went in to the Doc and she asked how I was feeling. I asked her what I needed to say to send me upstairs to L&D. She said I had to say that I felt a decrease in fetal movement... so I said "I have felt a decrease in fetal movement." To which she answered, "Well, you better get upstairs!"

Once up in Labor and Delivery, they hooked me up to a monitor-two actually, made me strip down to my birthday suit from the waist down and checked my cervix. While in there... the Doc decided to strip my membranes-that felt like she was sticking her entire fist up my crotch, but that is beside the point. The monitors showed that the baby was indeed moving-and moving a lot. It is official, this child is just like all of the other children I have given birth to-she does not listen to me and she will take any opportunity to embarrass me.

Anyway, they decide to do an ultrasound on me to check my fluid... which of course was just fine. So they sent me home but told me to come back in two days where they will do everything they just did to me all over again.

I am going to use Michelle 's technique and once I am in there on Friday-I am not leaving without a baby! Especially since there is no way I want to battle the traffic on a Friday afternoon out of DC.

My husband was very disappointed... not because he is not holding his new little girl in his arms right now, but because he has to go to work tomorrow. Sometimes life is just so unfair!

I'm serious about the castor oil thing. It worked for me! God bless and hang in there.

LMAO! My hubs scheduled his neutering for a Wednesday just so he didn't have to go back to work until Monday!

Sorry no baby yet! Try sex!

Sex with lots and lots of nipple stimulation!!! And castor oil, but after the sex! And evening primrose oil.

Good luck. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!

My midwife says that castor oil only works on your first pregnancy. Not sure why. It worked for me with number 1, but I took it twice with #2 and they still had to break my water. But, try it if you don't want to worry about "messing up" the delivery table. Your insides will be as clean as a whistle!
