Tell me what are some of the Old Wives tales
for bringing on labor?
All week I have been contracting on and off. Nothing that stays long and makes me think "this is it". I am so done and achy I just want this part over already. Last week I have 1.5cm dilated and I have an apt tomorrow to see if we made progress.
So far I've tried eating fresh pineapple.
Walking
Sex
What else is there?
I don't like eggplant so that's out the window.

My MIL swears that riding on the subway will do it.
I've heard that massaging the bottom of your feet or the soft area between your thum and pointer finger can start labor.
GOOD LUCK!
