Ready
I’ve got a chicken defrosting in the fridge. It’s the last of the garage freezer stash of foods to be cooked. Everything else in there is cooked and ready to go for when this baby decides to make an appearance. I’m not due for a week, but I am ready to not be pregnant any more. I am cranky, sore and impatient and I’m finding it difficult to maintain the current level of organization in my house.
My thoughts have turned to things that are rumored to start labor. I’ve been using Evening Primrose Oil for two weeks and drinking lots of Raspberry Leaf Tea. The tea has brought on contractions but nothing that’s caused me to think the baby may actually want out. I’ve been walking up and down the stairs in my house repeatedly- usually with a very vacuum cleaner in tow, and aside from today when the weather just wouldn’t support it, I’ve been walking as much as I can. I’m not crazy enough to try castor oil but there are foods that are supposed to bring on labor.
Spicy foods are often rumored to jumpstart labor and today I ate the majority of a can of pineapple hoping that would start things. The eggplant Parmesan I made a week and a half ago didn’t do its job but I’ve heard great things about this recipe for Scalini’s Eggplant Parmigiana. Apparently 300 women have gone into labor within days of eating it. Sadly, I don’t think it will work until my due date has come and gone, but I may have to give it a try later in the week.
