Coffee Question...

I was told that if your stomach is sensitive to coffee, that it could have the same effects as Castor oil, as far as helping to start contractions? I do have a sensitivity to coffee, If I drink even 1 cup, it sends me to the bathroom (#2) several times, and I heard that having soft frequent stools like that can stimulate the uterus to contract. I was wondering if anyone has heard of this? And if anyone has used coffee to help bring on labor?

Im officially desperate lmao.

Just try to relax and let things happen.  The more anxious and tense you are the less likely you will go into labor.
Or at least thats what i keep telling myself!!!

LOL! Well your exactly right, I have been in the potty for quite a while lmao and nothing...not one thing. Except it gave me the energy I needed to clean my house, which is a plus. Atleast I won't have to do that tomorrow lmao.

I don't think im actually as miserable as I think. I think im just overly anxious to have Conner here in my arms more than anything. I know he will be here eventually....even if he doesn't comply with the eviction notice me and daddy gave him yesturday lmao.....

Hubby and I joke around telling Conner he will have to owe us rent if he doesn't make his way here soon lmao.

I think the thing that makes me most anxious, is the fact that this is the first birth my hubby gets to be here for. I think thats my biggest thing. I begged and pleaded the good man upstairs for this baby, because I wanted to give my husband the birth experiance, and god granted it to me....and now im just so anxious to have my little man here.

I think in a way im just scared that hubby won't be there when I go in labor...which he will, because I know he wouldnt miss it for the world, but after having to do 3 pregnancies and deliveries on my own.....sometimes I feel im destined to deliver on my own.

I just need to stay positive. I know I can't wait to get back on my antidepressants lol, I was such a happy girl when I had them.

If loose #2 causes contractions than i should have had this little girl a week ago!  Sorry for the tmi.
Unfortuantly if Connor is not ready than nothing you do will make you go into labor.  It can only help it get started if you are on the verge already.

But look on the bright side, you are already  4cm dialated, almost 1/2 way there and he has already dropped even more.

It is just sooooo dam frusterating, i know.  I've been having contractions for almost 2 weeks now.  Sarah dropped and is engaged but since then no contractions.  I am loosing my mind!!
Nothing is helping, Unfortuantly our little ones will come when they are good and ready.  

I keep talking to Sarah jokingly threatening that she is going to be the only grounded newborn if she doesnt hurry up and get her

Keep your chin up we are almost there
