My OB checked me today to get a baseline, and right now I'm 1cm and 40% effaced. When I was checked at 42 weeks while being prepped for an induction with #1 I was 2cm and 30% effaced. Yeehaw! I am going whole hog old wives tale showdown for the next 3.5 weeks. EPO tabs nightly, 3 cups of red raspberry leaf/day, eggplant parm, spicy food, and fresh pineapple for dinner every night! Walking and sex, then some lotus pose yoga, and I should be good to go! The only one I'm not doing (again!) is castor oil. I shudder at the memories. I don't care if these things are call old wives tales for a reason, I am doing them all!
