[Jadis]

Thanks justjessica and praying4pink!!! Only EIGHT sleeps as of today, this is flying by. DH is on his last week of work! Eek getting so anxious!

I've started swelling I had to take my wedding rings off in fear they wouldn't cone off for the surgery if I left them on any longer lol so I sent them away to get cleaned!

Do any of you ladies use Facebook? I was thinking maybe it'd be nice to keep in touch?

I'm on facebook, CVD! I'll pm you with my actual real life name with 2 conditions First, no one knows that I've spent time on gender swaying sites and I'd wanna keep it that way. Secondly, I've spilled my baby's name here (Maggie) but no one else in my life is in the loop. I want to keep it secret till she's here, I'd like to unveil her name as part of our birth announcement. Coolio?

Yep I have a FB. It will be nice for us all to KIT. Whoa cvd I didn't realize it was eight days away. Holy cow honey this is super exciting!!! I have not worn my wedding rings in a few months now. My feet did pretty good this go round but my hands started to swell early. My feet looked like blimps by this time when I was pregnant with my son. I remember my baby shower pictures from then and my feet were huge. They were actually scared I had PE but I didn't...just retained a lot of water.

I am on FB too and would love to know how you are all getting on with your little ones. No one in RL knows that we swayed though or that we are having a boy. So that has to be kept shush until he arrives

mommyof3boys- i would not advise anyone to try and induce labor at 36 weeks. even natural ways shoudl be reserved for emergency situations or after 41 weeks

[cvd]

Oh for sure no mention of any details etc! No one knows I swayed either but they do know its a boy named Hudson hehe

Cvd I had to laugh at your PM because I didn't realize many people had my name. Wright is pretty common but the spelling of my first name isn't. I will search for you.

[Praying4Pink]

[cvd]

I don't think that evening primrose oil is used to induce labor. I think it just works to help soften the cervix in preparation for labor similar to the same affects of semen but I'm not exactly sure. I certainly don't want to induce labor so I guess I better read up on it a little more.

Has anyone ever taken evening primrose oil? I was thinking about trying it after I hit 36 weeks to help soften the cervix but I wasn't sure if it was a good idea so I thought I would ask if anyone had any experience with it.

I haven't tried it but I am going to give it a go this time around as last time my cervix didn't start to soften until I was in labour. I know this because my OB said that my cervix was very unfavourable for labour and he expected me to go at least a week overdue on my due date. The day before my labour started and I had a very long early labour as a result.

I doesn't cause you to go into labour. I don't really believe that any of these home remedies do unless you are ready to go anyway.

I have also read a study that said eating 7 dates per day from 36 weeks leads to an easier labour. I figure it wouldn't hurt to give that one a go too. It would just be a tasty snack if it does nothing so win/win situation.
