Also, I was 1cm/75%/-2 last week. I have been having contractions, just not regular.

All the best dear, stop having castor oil, it is not good for you and the baby, I know how difficult it is in the last stage, but relax dear, as the result of all your patients and courage will be good.. It is god's plan when he wnts to bring your baby, just go according to the nature... try to be happy

Don't rush it, things will happen when the time is right. I did have a friend to the castor oil thing, but she drank a bottle. Enjoy these last few moments, your life is going to change very soon.
A side note: I am thankful for your husband and all the others serving our country.

I am 40 weeks and I feel the best thing for the baby may be walking if you want to do it you own way or you can talk to you doctor about inducing your labor. I hope the walking works for you. Good luck with the baby and safe return for you husband.

I was in the exact same position as you with my son, 41 weeks...tried everything to "coach" him out...nothing worked...BUT then I went and got a foot massage and that same night I went into labor...according to my midwife she said that there is a spot near the arch of your foot that will send you into labor...which is why it's not recommended that you get foot massages while pregnant...so go treat yourself to a manicure and pedicure...the full works...relax and know that not only will your baby be here soon enough, but you'll look great when he enters this world! ;) good luck!

Raspberry leaf tea.. Stay away from the Castor Oil.. It's very bad for the baby.. Good luck and Sorry to hear your husband being deployed.. My husband just returned in August and we are expecting our 4th baby in June 2007..
Best wishes to you and your family!! Prayers are with you for his safe return..
PS: DO NOT sit in a hot tub of water!! You don't want to raise the baby's temp. That is bad!! It does NOT work!!

I've heard that if you take a long walk during a full moon... it's supposed to have a gravitational pull and you're supposed to go into labor >.< probably an old wives tale... but I would try it anyway~ Good luck honey!

Sorry you can't rush these things, it happens when it happens. Has your doctor talked about inducing labor yet? I went 2 weeks over due then they induced. Hope everything goes well. Thank your hubby for supporting our country, best wishes to you and your family.

well an orgasm is what does it. So you could play with yourself. Sounds weird I know. Or go up and down stairs fast as you can. That worked for me. Have your doctor scrape your membranes.
