I seriously wonder what's up with my body not wanting to start contractions. Honestly I think that yes, my body will do what it needs when its time, but I won't say the thought hasn't crossed my mind. With Daniel I was 14 days late, 5cm and they ended up breaking my water to get things going and had to take more tincture to keep contractions strong. With Jonathan I was 5cm for 2 weeks before he was born at 9 days late. Contractions started, then slowed, and then picked up again..... Now I'm 4cm, and 13 days late. When?
I haven't taken castor oil for a couple of reasons. 1) Its extremely nasty x's 100 and didn't work with Daniel and I have no desire AT ALL to try it again. 2) My midwife would rather me NOT be anymore miserable during labor than I have to - if he even actually worked. It will be taken at very last resort and when I would have to take it - a baby WOULD be born one way or another.
Tomorrow if I have to have an ultrasound and everything is good I get 2-3 more days and if nothing, then I'd have to take a whole bottle of castor oil (with my midwife here) and we'd get things going. Pray I don't go that far!!!!!!!!!
Today I've stayed home from church with Jonathan to see if I could get things going, or at least not have to be at church in case something happened. Its been a nice day, minus the fact that Micah hasn't decided to arrive. Daniel very happily went to church with Stephen and I'm sure is having a good time with the Aunts.
So, overall, its getting rather depressing that we're still waiting for Micah to come. Plus the longer he waits its buy more supplements, more this, more that.
I need to just relax and know that God is in charge.
