Hi Everyone, thanks for your feedback! There are a few things I think I'm going to try
Oorki, I wish I could wait til term but 40 weeks will be my limit before a section is done I'd say, so I'm hoping this little man is ready to greet the world a little earlier.
Kelly, thanks for posting the link to the article. It's really informative
Now, just a few questions re: EPO and nipple stimulation. Do you ***** little holes in the EPO capsules before inserting them? Also do the shells completely disolve or do you have to go "fishing" for the left over bits the next morning? Also the nipple stimulation technique really makes sense to me. I have a double electric breast pump so wonder whether this could be a good way of going about it. Would it be too much to put both sides on at once for a 5 minute period and see what happens?
The hospital also mentioned the possibility of breaking my waters if my cervix is favourable instead of just going straight to a section. And I'm wondering is nipple stimulation with a breastpump would also be a good thing to try once this is done to see if it helps get labour underway. I wonder if they'll think I'm weird for suggesting it
