week 39 - meet my new best friend
I never thought that I'd be one of those pregnant women who try EVERYTHING to induce labor but desperate times call for desperate measures. I am SOOOOO one of those pregger ladies, especially now with 6 days remaining.
As each day passes, I have been more open to trying methods of self induction to get my baby to come out soon. Some of them are crazier than others but one thing that I've been using a lot of is good ole TAPATIO. I have been eating this hot sauce on EVERYTHING. My lips burn after each meal sitting but the burning sensation is nothing when you want so badly to go into labor. I hope its true what they say about spicy food. If its false, then i'm a fool.
Why the rush you ask? Well I am a type A person. I am results oriented and really like to get things done. I want to start utilizing all the nursery stuff, the baby clothes, the diapers, my boobies, everything. I want the baby to meet his family and his 2 big brothers Rocco and Peezy can't wait any longer either! I want to meet this little bugger and begin motherhood. I have been patient for 9 months now and these past couple of weeks have been especially hard, even harder when you hear others who were due after you already in labor and done with it.
Anyways, here's my new buddy, Mr. Tapatio!! He is with me throughout the day and I appreciate his hottiness. :)
There are a whole bunch of other things you can do to naturally induce labor. Here are a few I thought would be interesting to my readers, especially to those who have yet to be pregnant. I remember when I heard some of these I thought, what???

- Walking: i do this on a nightly basis but it feels like I have a bowling ball in between my legs and it hurts like hell on my back. However, mind over matter! I must withstand the pain!
- Sex: don't you wanna know more :)
- Nipple stimulation: Don't ask. Google it if you want more info. i don't want to be the first to tell you about this.
- Herbal Remedy... no not the good stuff: Evening Primrose Oil, Blue and Black Cohosh, False Unicorn Root, and Red Raspberry Leaf are some of the most popular herbs that are used to naturally induce labor
- Acupressure
- Castor Oil: For decades, women have been using castor oil to help induce labor. In fact, many old school physicians and midwives swear by it. It can provide good results if you are already in early labor. It is believed to work by causing spasms in the intestines, which surround the uterus toward the end of pregnancy. These spasms, in turn, cause the uterus to cramp, which might result in labor.
