Wait, wait, wait... oh, and wait.
I don't feel any different today than I did last week. While relaxing in bed last night I started to visualize myself going into labor. I kept telling myself, "water- you can break now".
I really don't want to go too far past my due date. The closer I get to that DUE DATE the more I want the contractions to start... and I want them to start on their own. If I am 2 weeks past that date they will start to induce me, which means poking and drugs and membrane stripping and not what I want.
Inducing Labor
Not only do I NOT want to be induced, but I also don't want to push a 10 pound baby out the birth canal. It can be done-- my mother did it, but I don't want to relive that history. Scares me. So basically, the baby should come today.
Is there a Baby Dance I can do to get things going? Can I start pushing now?

On March 20, 1978, my mom, dad and Ethan went on a long walk in the park. It was a sunny day and, as my mother remembers, a very relaxing way to spend the afternoon. She went into labor that night and I was born the next day.
i swear... walking is a myth!! i walk everyday... and 2-3 times a week I walk a 3.5 mile loop in the park.
but i've been doing that the whole pregnancy, so... maybe the baby is used to it and isn't falling for any tricks.
i'm hoping that by packing my hospital bags that the baby will get the hint...

I am very sure that a pre natal massage , along with my husband finishing the book "the birth partner" (which helped him gain confidence) induced my labor.
Some people swear by pizza with lots of dried red pepper on it.
You could have my nephew Elliott yell into your belly button: "Hey, come out!"
