Guest guest Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 Hi everyone, I don't find as much time as I certainly wish I had to come on here, but I am going stir crazy. I am now 5 days past my due date. I lost part of my mucus plug about a week ago. Then all day yesterday I was losing my mucus plug and having about 1-3 contractions an hour, most of the day. Finally around 7pm they stopped. Haven't had anymore contractions since. I'm so disappointed because I was sure I would be in labor today. I'm taking EPO orally everyday (midwife said I was very soft on Monday, but not effaced)and I'm drinking about 4 cups of Red Raspberry tea. I've read about doing nipple stimulation, but I'm afraid of bringing on contractions too strong (and with 2 kids, 7 & 5 I don't have the time to committ & relax for that). Midwife said we would schedule induction for the 9th if nothing happens. I really don't want that. My other two were late, but I had hoped that my being 150lbs less and in such better shape than I was when I had them, I would have an easier time going into labor and maybe even delivery (wishful thinking, I guess). Any suggestions? Muah! Liza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
