New Experiences

1. Caster oil- mix in a blender with some OJ and ice- not so bad.

2. Spending the day in the bathroom- not great.

3. Not eating all day to avoid some of those bathroom trips- helped a bit.

4. Heading to the hospital after an hour of solid 4-5 minute apart contractions- hooray!

5. Being sent home after 2 hours in triage when the contractions started slowing down- DANG IT!!!!!

Looks like my last resort didn't pan out.

That just plain sucks!!
Have you ever tried Evening Primerose oil? That's how I went into labor with Logan all on my own (first time doing that!!). It ripens you right up and helps to move things along. 3000-3500mg taken...ummm....not orally. Works great. :D
Hope you get some relief soon.

What the deuce? So close, yet so far. Dang, the last few weeks can be so dam frustrating. And that slippery castor oil slipped everything out but what you drank it for! Doh.

I did the primrose thing too. It helped with the thinning of the cervix.
Hang in there..he's almost here!
