This child is frustrating me. At my last Doctor's appointment, they said I was ready to go into labor anytime. Well, the child is refusing to make his appearance. I am so ready to get the whole labor and delivery experience (delightful as it will be!) over with. But apparently Matthew would like to continue his role as the "perfect parasite" for a little while longer. Paul has me on a strict exercise regimen and is constantly brewing me raspberry leaf tea, which is supposed to stimulate contractions. I'm getting lots of contractions alright...but they are completely random and not demonstrating any identifiable pattern.
I'll keep all you girls posted on any new developments. Please keep me in your prayers for a safe (and quick) labor and delivery.
Happy 2010!! I miss you all!
Oh dear, I hope he decides to come out soon!
ReplyDeleteMexican wives-tales say that chamomile tea also induces contractions. It might be worth a try if the raspberry tea isn't working.
Prayers for a happy healthy mom and baby. :)
Love you!
Thinking about you daily! Lots of prayers for your family and I hope your son makes an appearance soon!
ReplyDeleteHi Monica,
ReplyDeleteI have been praying for you, and one of my students has been asking about you, too. (Her mom found out she was pregnant right around the time that you did.)
Hopefully, you have a healthy delivery soon :)
Keep us updated!
