Been eating lots of salsa too lately. <br /><br />I was able to tie up my own shoes today & I did my toenails last night on my own too, so I can't complain that much...Lisa Corriveauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17528772139443165946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993228338789986683.post-62570517324378453822010-08-08T21:29:12.018-07:002010-08-08T21:29:12.018-07:00I've heard having your membranes stripped is q...I've heard having your membranes stripped is quite painful though..and doesn't always work. A friend of mine had it done 3 times, and it didn't do anything.<br /><br />I've also heard spicy food can kickstart labour? Don't try the castor oil route...not so fun!<br /><br />The last month was always miserable for me, I just wanted to be done. To be able to do things like tie my shoes again...roll over, cut my toenails, lie down without heartburn..you know!<br /><br />I'll be crossing my fingers Sprout decides to come out soon, and you have a quick labour.<br /><br />WendyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993228338789986683.post-4310921246888054232010-08-08T15:21:54.898-07:002010-08-08T15:21:54.898-07:00Aww... thanks Katie!

Didn't hurt. Went into labour 36 hours later, but not actually sure if the two were related (sweep wasn't very successful).<br /><br />Personally, I wasn't comfortable doing it any earlier, given that the average first pregnancy lasts 40 weeks 6 days.<br /><br />And yes, the last two weeks of my pregnancy were pretty miserable. Big hugs to you! I know that you can do this, and Sprout will definitely arrive before you're 42 weeks.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06136323288700869157noreply@blogger.com
