I think I made it as lasagna but it was 6 and 8 years ago lol. All I'm finding is the eggplant oatmeal so that must be it. I blame the brain fart on being pregnant :P

Hopefully it works for you :) you should be able to find it on google, apparently a restaurant in Cali serves it and guarantees you'll be in labor within 24 hours. It takes a while to make but it's worth it even just for the noms, it's really good. And good for you :)

He stopped for the first week or so when i got pregnant with this baby because i misscarried with my first and he thought it was his fault because i started bleeding after we had sex. But after that first week weve always had sex lol. And eggplant lasagna?! That sounds good!! How many weeks were u when u ate it

42 with my son and 38 with my daughter. Worked like a charm. I wasn't even dilated with either of them before I had it.

Me too, mine already thinks he's going to hurt the baby and I'm only 13 weeks :| look up a recipe for labor inducing eggplant lasagna, I used it with both my older kids and went into labor within 6 hours. And it's yummy.

I read ALOT on line that bouncing on a ball helped alot of women dialate and thin because it pretty much forces the baby further down in the birth canal. And let me tell u.  It sure feels like its worked because he feels lower than EVER after using it. Some times i feel like if i squat he may fall out lol
