I have two girlfriends who are pregnant. Overdue. Waiting. Just waiting for their children to be born. One of my friends already has a child, so she knows what she’s in for. The other is a first time mom.
It amazed me each time I was pregnant how badly I wanted the baby to come… that is, until labor started. Once those contractions hit, I was like, “What the heck was I thinking???!!!!” Gentlemen, this is about the time your mate starts calling you names and telling you never to touch her again.
When I was in those last few days/weeks of my pregnancies and I wanted nothing more than for my baby to come out already, I was given and tried many suggested options to start labor, including:
Eating Basil
Spicy food
Sex
Walking around
Nipple stimulation (via the breast pump. It sucked. Pun intended.)
Jumping around
Cleaning the floor
Patience (that one never worked….)
My gift for my two expecting girlfriends is this post. Moms/Dads/Grandmas/Grandpas… what is your advice for getting those babies out?
