Sorry for the whole "I promise a new blog on Friday and then not delivering"....no pun intended ;)
Things have been hectic here. We met with another new doctor this week for our weekly appointment who walked into the room saying how glad she was that we had a scheduled a C-section! Then she saw the look on our faces and commented how she could see it wasn't our first choice...yeah no kidding genius!!
She then tried to use some new scare tactics on us for doing a C.....percentages that we didn't completely understand cause we were pretty sure one of them was we would have a 10-15% chance of not being able to deliver naturally and have to have an emergency C....i don't think those are horrible odds....plus i do love a chance to prove them wrong :)
So we asked if she had any recommendations for natural induction...she recommended Castor Oil....all three of the doctors we have asked said try it....so we did.
First we tried Grandma Church's advice which was just buy the bottle and that will scare the kid out.....didn't work...so then i took a dose mixed with orange juice and a pinch of baking soda to make it fizzy....contractions got stronger...and that night after dinner and a game at Ranelle and Bill's I got sick, had a huge gush of fluid and so off to the hospital we went...unfortunatly...no water breakage.
So yesterday i tried a second dose....and am now feeling the effects digestively...and stronger contractions...so here we sit..hoping and praying...we only have a few more days before the doctor wants to do the scheduled C....if she doesn't at least start to come naturally before then...we're going to have quite a fight on our hands...
Well that is all for now, just a quick update...hope all are doing well.
Will try and write more often!!
