One more week, then I am being scheduled for inducement. So one way or another she will arive shortly!

Cheryl,

Old New England's wives trick, works WONDERFULLY! Have a few friends hold your shoulders as you sit on a chair or couch. Then have someone stand in front of you, standing away from you and grab a foot. They should give your foot a few good hard tugs like they are trying to remove a winter boot. Then do the same with the other foot. Repeat twice a day, for two days. They may need you to brace yourself with your other foot on their tush if you don't have extra friends to hold your shoulders.

You'll go into labor within 24-48 hours, generally. May be earlier.

There's something about getting the muscles of the uterus to begin contracting, some midwife must have noticed that women went into labor during snowstorms and started recommending it back in the days before the AMA. Works like a charm.

I've gotten over a dozen ladies to go into labor with this trick, including aunties and bosses!
 
CL, nice tractor!!!! We made one last year with the 4-H kids as a group project using PVC. Nice and lightweight and CHEAP!!!! I use it now to grow out the teenagers in and want to make another.

KMoran, I have an 09 Chevy Traverse and absolutely love it and can highly recommend it. We have 3 tween/teens and they fit in the 3rd row just fine.

Theresa, Congrats on the sporty new car!!!!!


Thanks. Yep...I have one graduating (hopefully)..one gonna get his license (he will drive the old subaru) and only 1 tween now...so down sizing was okay for us. I love zipping around town in it. Fun to drive.
 
More fun yesterday:

He snuck up the driveway, and Einstein came in for his shotgun as he was

The visitor decided he liked the skovie girlz..........then he wanted very much to be a Cuckoo Marans, except Milton & Anthony were not having any of it.
So the visitor went up the hill & crused behind all the pens until he came to the Turkey pasture where the Buckeye Cock is temporaily exiled, and the Buck really wanted this beautiful chicken...(he is feeling the need to sow his seeds ) and so did the courtship dance all the way around the fence, for the visitor's veiwing pleasure.
Then the visitor few up & landed on the central net support !



turkey poults are wondering WTH ???

CL: We have quite a few of these that go through the place here..because of the orchards around us. We have the males and I have seen hens. I keep threatening to put one under glass .... never have though...they are to pretty. Now the quail...I have a herd of some 100 out here that I think I could thin the herd some.

I wonder if this working has something to do with stretching the ligaments and muscles in the hips and pelvic region. Interesting to say the least. Unfortunately, I really dont have anyone around to help me do these "forced stretches." I mean my mom is next door, but she wouldnt be able to do it... Hmm... Now you got me thinking. lol Thanks for the info! Might have to see about getting help with this one!
 
Cheryl...This is what my Chrio showed me when I was so long over due with my Emalie.
He pushed a pressure point on both of my legs. First one and then the other. He held it for about 3-5 minutes.
The pic shows where to place your fingers. If done right, the top finger should hit a tender spot. It should smart.
Then you just press and hold. He showed me how then I went home and did it off and on for the rest of the day.
I went into labor within a day or so. It might be worth a try and you're not out anything if it doesn't work.
Have fun!

Are you able to do squats? I used the foot board of my bed so I could hold on n help myself up then squat down sittin on your ankles and bonce slightly not fast and take slow deep breaths. It stretches your pelvic and the deep breaths brings oxygen down to your uterus. I did this about one time an hr for about 4-6 mins and walked around my house and within 4 hrs I was in labor. You can also do this on a exercise ball or a birthing ball. Slow steady bouncing or rolling your hips like you would with a hula hoop. You can also sit on the floor with a pillow under your belly for support spread your legs not wide but comfortably apart and slowly stretch forward and side to side this. I have lots of good tricks. Good Luck
