Hey Stacey!

Aaargh how frustrating for you, even getting regular contractions!!

How do you know about the dilation? Recent checkup or self check? I have an OB appt on Wed (40+2) and he said he'll do an internal - still deciding if I'll agree to that or nor.

Like you I'm also dead keen not to be induced, the OB is fine for me to go to 42 weeks and is also willing to let it go longer so if all is well I'll be waiting a while!! What is your plan of attack over the next week or so?

Good luck with your walks and squats today... you've reminded me that I should be bouncing on the fitball.

Regarding the Castor oil - PMSL that's funny, you don't use it down there , you drink it!!! Side effects are severe intestinal cramping and diarrhea for a number of hours. Hence it's not a hugely popular induction method!! Particularly as it's success rate is highly questionable.
