I cant see myself taking the castro oil till im faced with having to go to the hospital but i can barely walk or sleep and i feel more tired everyday which isnt going to help me adjust much...sorry to hear things are rough for you laura hopefully within the next few weeks she settles down and everyone is happy and comfortable. I still havent been checked but if i havent had the baby by my appointment on tuesday then i will be getting checked because i will almost be a week overdue

I only did castor oil as a last resort before an induction, it worked! Nasty shit but it was worth it to me not to have to do induction at the hospital as opposed to my planned home birth.

I know how you feel on many of those counts! My darling Jimmy is now 4 days past due. The I haven't wanted to have sex much either as my pubic "bone" (its a joint) dislocated a few weeks ago, and though physical therapy got it back in line, it's still pretty painful at times, so the only comfy position for sex seems to be standing leaning over the bed, so my legs get tired and sore, and I just wanna say "hurry up" but that's a mood killer ;) I ate some fresh pineapple today, and nothing. Have had spicy mexican food every week for the past 3 weeks, and nothing. I've tried walking miles and miles (painfully due to pelvic issues), and nothing. I've tried cinnamon tea, and nothing. Last week they swept my membranes to try to get things going, and (you guessed it) nothing. I am sooo not interested in castor oil either, that just sounds disgusting. I have my 40 week appointment tomorrow morning and expect to discuss possibly inducing soon. They estimate my little man is probably at least 9 lbs by now, and I'm sooo not looking forward to pushing another 9 lb baby :( I just want to play with his cute little feet and snuggle his little body while I nurse him. I want to snap a million photos of him with his big brother. I want my baby out!!!!

Sorry Chelsea, I know the feeling. Hope Maecyn isn't 9 days past like Fierna was, but adjusting has been very very hard and sometimes I find myself wishing she had stayed in longer :( it's tough, you want the baby out, but once she's out it gets so much harder! Hope it goes well for you, maybe you won't have a hard time adjusting like I am......
