I'm going to take Castor Oil now

[wild.blue]

I'm getting ready to take it. I know I said I was going to do everything naturally on its own time but I want him to have a 4th of July birthday and I'm really exhausted. I've been having contractions on and off all day, I just need something to kick it into gear and get it going strongly.

Any tips or advice?

I plan to drink it with orange juice very shortly. My doula said it will get labor going good in 6-12 hrs. I'm aliitle bit afraid of the cramping and nausea that goes along with it..

How are those contractions coming along?

Let us know when you leave if you can...

Good Luck!

What is Blue Cohosh?

[wild.blue]

I mean I can't concentrate on anything when I get a contraction. I am starting to feel the endorphins that are produced to relieve the pain. I'm sorry if I'm not making any sense lol I feel very strange. I think there might be something in the Blue Cohosh that making me spacey

What do you mean by "zoning out"?

Blue cohosh? never heard of it...Sounds like it working....Good Luck

I'm starting to get strong contractions now. I decided to take Blue Cohosh instead of the castor. It just as effective, without the sickness. I put a drop of it under my tongue every 30 minutes. I'm beginning to feel zoned out with each contraction and they are getting harder and harder

The nurses told me not to come in until I can't talk or communicate through them anymore. So until then..

I hope this is it! I dont even care if it makes me sick.. I just want him to come out and join the world. I am afraid but I'm more determined than anything. I'll update asap, hopefully I'll be on my way to the hospital tonight

Good luck girl! Just try to use the bathroom as much as possible because I think I read that it can make you go while giving birth (sorry tmi but im talking about #2!) I hope it doesn't make you sick hun! Seriously..we cant wait to hear about it! I hope it all happens tomorrow! YAY finally its your turn!

[mamaofonetrying42]

I cant believe you are still pregnant!! Girl, if I was you I would be doing everything I  could to get him out.LOL

Ps. my mom took castor oil with my sister and she had one bad night(really bad) and was in the hosp. the next day!

Good Luck!!!
