    ugh – hang in there, i was a week or more late with 4 out of my 5!  SOOOO been there!  i’ve tried it all, too.  from eggplant parmesan, to castor oil (by far the worst experience – started labor, my midwife came running, my labor buddies, and my mom, i dialated to 4cm and then it just flat out STOPPED for 36 hours. ugh.  awful.)  we’ve been intimate, used raspberry leaf tea, evening primrose oil, all of it.  

    With our last we came within 1 day of our amniotic fluid level test where they make you pack a bag in case they tell you to stay (and we were set on having a homebirth, as we’d had for the previous two), and i was freaking out.  but God is good, and brought James out just in time.  

    I say, pray a lot, stay active, be intimate with hubby, and enjoy the miracle of birth whenever it happens!  It’s so hard, I know.  Hang in there; praying your birth is blessed and healthy and SOON!

    love,

    Thanks for all the tips ladies….yet especially for the prayers. I am now 2 days past the due date and still pregnant. (sigh) Hoping baby makes her arrival this week and that I might not have to be induced.

    The only time I was really really eager to get labor started was with my second-castor oil worked for me-like a champ. My easiest birth by far. Drank it with grape juice Smile
