Spicy Food remedy?
Hi All~
Yet another entry with not much progress to announce. Today was Jonathan’s day off, so we went and had the spiciest Bermese dish to try and jump start the process! We had a great time and enjoyed being out in the city together on such a beautiful day. There are so many other “inducing” methods that we have heard–we’re trying them all!
This Friday is our due date AND another appointment. If we make it to this appointment without a hospital trip beforehand, we are packing our bags and bringing them with us–just in case we are admitted that morning! I am walking around 4 cm dialated since last week, so this week has got to be 5 cm right?
Sorry to keep you waiting, but it’s not my fault!! Love to you all~Thanks for your support.

Hey Katrina, good idea on taking the packed bags ‘just in case.’ As you are essentially term, when you go in on Friday for your appt they may admit you afterall and induce labor that weekend. That’s what I had. I was ready to pop but the body had not gone far enough on it’s own, so they induced the contractions to get labor started. After 17+ hours of labor, Nikolai was born. So, who knows either this weekend or next weekend is it. I don’t see this going much further then that. The placenta has done it’s duty and pretty much at the end of it’s useuful life. Once they test and see it’s not doing as strongly as it has all these months – they’ll simply tell you it’s time. My prediction is up to one more week of pregnancy and then you will no longer be pregnant.
