Hey Daisygirl, Are you drinking raspberry leaf tea???

NO ... I absolutely positively CANNOT go into labor early. My last day of work is my due date and it would seriously suck to go early. Of course, healthy baby is really all that matters, but it will seriously cause havoc in my work life if I go into labor early.

I will start trying labor-inducing things on the 25th or 26th but NOT before.

LOL @ Daisy hoping the munchkin isn't going to start making demands on mom before mom is ready

Kids have a way of doing that I hear...!

All my hopes for you that you are able to start your mommy leave on your schedule with time to stop off at the spa for a relaxing mani / pedi, the hubby to serve breakfast in bed & clean the dishes, time for a nice leisurely drive to the doc, quickie labor, back to the recovery room w/ bundles of flowers everywhere, new munchkin and then home for your new life

Have you read the girlfriends guide to having a baby?? They had some good things in there that most books didnt. Remember this; the Anesthesiologist is your best friend and the 2nd most important person in your room. Everything will be fine dont worry, if you do by chance go before your leave starts believe me (I went in labor 6 weeks early, they stopped it but I was on bed rest and had him 3 weeks early, I didn't have anything at work in order) havick will not be on your mind. Nothing but that little girl you are holding will be on your mind.

the raspberry leaf tea isn't for inducing, it is to help you with an easier labor, some it works for wonders and some not at all but it wont hurt anything to drink it and it is good for you. I hate tea so I think I might take the pills.

Hmm, I thought I read it induces labor too ... I'll have to go research.

Honey, the DRUGS are what makes labor easier

lol. I guess huh. Well faster. And if you look into make sure you type raspberry leaf.
I never knew you were working right up to your due date. Wow. A good wow, cause I dont think I could do it.

Okay, I did some quick reading and it is an herbal thing that can help make labor quicker and possibly easier. It also helps expel the placenta and can help increase breast milk.

BUT, the reason it helps with labor is that is can also cause uterine contractions. While this is FANTASTIC during labor, and something I want very very much ... I do NOT want it this early. Definately something I might start in the last week .....

For sure. Me too. I know my mom drank it with me, and she was very fast. The doctor came in and said okay I will be back in a couple hours and before he even got home they had to call him back to the hospital. I will have to ask her when she started to drink the tea. But definatly something I would love to help me with as well.

Good to hear all is still well. I wish you all the best for a quick labour. I myself now have 23 days to go, but are starting to have little niggles, so I may go early (gosh I hope). Good luck and all the best. Thinking of you at this most anxious time.
