List of Things We Have Tried

[callistra]

1) Tinned Pineapple.
2) Fresh Pineapple. (Apparently it's the bromide or some sort of enzyme in pineapple, so it has to be fresh to help the labour start. Something. I read about that at about 3 in the morning, so it's a bit hazy.)
3) Curry. (We went with LLBatt a week or two ago.)
4) Spicy Food - well, there was lunch today. And I have bought some fresh chilis for tonight's and tomorrow's meals..
5) Sex
6) Nipple stimulation (apparently 10 - 15 minutes each side. For a while.)
7) Long walks.
8) There's an "accupressure" point between the thumb and forfinger. Bit dubious, but at 3 in the morning you try anything. :-) There's another one on the bottom of my feet which I can't get to for obvious reasons and one inside the ankle and one inside the pelvis somewhere.
9) Squats
10) Bumpy drives.
11) Chocolate. (Hey, why not?) :-)
12) Lots and lots of standing.
13) Internal Examination by Dr.
14) Hot showers. (I don't do baths. At least, not very often. Spa would be nice but I don't think that's the thing we're looking for here.)

I think that covers everything we've tried so far. But most of it has been in the past few days. Sometimes things respond fast, sometimes they don't, and basically, the baby will come when s/he wants to come, regardless of how much chili and chocolate we eat.

I will admit, I have NOT tried jumping up and down. *giggle*

Ooo, and I'm tempted by having Matt and Lucretiae cook for me again... except I really just want to hide under a rock...
:-) I was going to ask Sheldon but that would require him to respond to emails occasionally. Or exist. Or something. :-)

We understand that you are hermitting right now, but if you change your mind let me know :-) Matt is going down the farm at some point in time this weekend but I'm free both days.

I would love for you to cook for us.
When will you both be free?
:-)
I can handle you two at once, but more than one or two people gets weird on my ass.
