Induction tricks that don't work

Just in case you were wondering, the following are some things that DON'T work to induce labor...(or at least they haven't for me!)
  • talking to your baby and telling them to come out
  • having your 2-year old tell the baby to come out
  • bouncing on the birth ball with your 2 year old
  • eating whole pineapples and mangoes
  • walking up and down the stairs until you are out of breath
  • pizza and root beer
  • sitting in a dark and quiet closet telling the baby "we are in a safe place" (that was totally Jason's weirdo idea)
  • acupressure
  • driving on roads full of potholes
  • yard work

So maybe this baby just wants to come on his own timetable! Which is hopefully soon...

Oh, this made me laugh way too hard! Especially the whole "you are in a safe place" part.

Hope you little one comes soon!
