I would still say to check with your doctor first. Herbs can be dangerous.
I have a pet peeve, and you all may think it's stupid, but I think it's weird when people are having babies, and their family members or spouses feel the need to update facebook with every single little thing that's happening play by play. Oh, she's here and checked in. Dilate to one! 3 hours in and still only 1. They aren't goin to use Pitocin. They don't do that anymore. She's finally at 2. Nothing is happening. Getting an epidural. Baby is crowning! She's bald! Seriously? We all know what happens in child birth. I would seriously freak on anyone that did that to me. And also, do you count from the moment your induction starts in how many hours you've been in labor? This person did. So they're saying 62 hours. I personally wouldn't. I went in on Monday afternoon, and I didn't start having good, regular contractions until Tuesday evening. I would probably start on Tuesday afternoon when they said contractions were where they needed to be. That's just me. I just needed to complain a little because I really hate it. I think it's weird. I feel like having a baby should be a personal experience, and of course you want to share pictures and great news with all of your friends and family, but a blow by blow on FB is really not necessary in my book. Why can't we just say something like, "We're going to be induced!" and leave it at that until baby comes. Text someone with a question or just wait until baby makes it's grand entrance. Maybe I'm the weird one.. haha.
On another note, it's supposed to be 75 and sunny here today. 55 tonight. Perfect weather for my first baseball game. Hubby chose a night time one because I'm pale and burn sitting in the sun. Haha. So thoughtful! I'm gonna make breakfast and get moving this morning. I think we are going to do a little shopping in the city maybe (we have to drive 2 hours is the downer.. but at least it's a gorgeous day for a drive!) and get something to eat. I'm excited to spend time with him because unfortunately I have to work tomorrow night, and I'm sure I'll be working all of next weekend as well. Lovely. Happy Easter to me. Lol.
