The midwife had no good news for me. "That baby is really up there," she explained yesterday, "hasn't really dropped at all." What??? I am having flashbacks of Julia's birth, due on December 7th, born on the 21st. Holy Macaroni, we can't have the same December birthday-4 days before Christmas is bad enough!
She could see my disappointment. "I'm not going to say it won't happen in the next few days, because I've been wrong before, but...." No buts. I want to hear "any day now." She sent me home with an appointment for next week and advice to rest and take it easy and enjoy my time before baby number three arrives. Will I make it to next Friday's appointment?
I'm giving it until this Saturday, then I'm pulling out the big guns: black cohosh tea, castor oil, the new "labor" salad I read about (yes, indeed I "googled" it), sex, evening primrose oil, spicy Indian food. If you have labor inducing suggestions, please send them my way.
