hey guys where's sally?

**The[cookie]Doctor** · January 31st, 2008, 04:54 PM

jess have you tried the old wives tales?
walking apparently because of the gravity shift.
pineapple juice / fresh pineapple apparently contains the same stuff (prostoglandins??) that semen does that softens the cervix (that's why they say to have lots of sex).
apparently a good reflexologist can give a foot massage and send you into labour - this one i'd try seeing as after my foot massage form df last night i ended up having ctx's for a few hours. check out reflexology on the web and see if your parents can treat you to a foot rub!
can't think of any others off the top of my head - apart from stairs sideways as it widens your pelvis

Oh and Kass - if you view my profile it has my email address in there, send me a couple of photos of Bella and i'll shrink them and send them back to you later tonight or tomorrow morning if you like.

As for Sally - she might be out or at The IL's i'd say??

**Early Kids** · January 31st, 2008, 05:30 PM

BOO!!

Gee you guys can talk I go out for a day!! AND 3 pages!!!

Jess, do you like licorice?? Aparently if you eat enough, it has a chemical in it which makes your waters break

(i think it's something like 250gm a day you have to eat)

My mum and I went to Perth for an outing before I go to VIC, cos 4 days after i get back mum and dad are off to QLD!! Brendan was very well behaved. didn't whinge AT ALL!! I even forgot to change his nappy.... poor lil man had it on for almost 9 hours. lol.... that'll teach him for not letting me know!! haha!

**The[cookie]Doctor** · January 31st, 2008, 05:32 PM

oh good grief - 250grams?!!!!!! does that include raspberry licorice? lol!

**Early Kids** · January 31st, 2008, 05:45 PM

lol... no, it's gotta be the good stuff!!

**Early Kids** · January 31st, 2008, 05:45 PM

I'll try and find the artical again

It was quite an interesting read

**Early Kids** · January 31st, 2008, 05:51 PM

Oh and i suppose you'd better watch for the bowel movement too... after eating that much! hehehe

**Kazmar** · January 31st, 2008, 06:09 PM

Poor Brendan, but it must not have bothered him that much if he didn't say anything!
Ash i sent them 2 u hopefully they worked!

**Kazmar** · January 31st, 2008, 06:23 PM

also guys where's Nina? Hope bubs hasn't come early!

**Early Kids** · January 31st, 2008, 06:24 PM

I know kass, I feel so bad

But he was so happy all day. I guess he is in one all night for around 12 hrs anyway so almost 9 is a breeze... lol.

This is a quote I found on a site:

Eating large amounts of licorice. Eating about 8 oz (227 g) of licorice per week may increase levels of labor-inducing chemicals in the body.

This Site is also a quite interesting read

**Kazmar** · January 31st, 2008, 06:59 PM

hahaha god u hear some strang things when ur pg! did it work ash?

**The[cookie]Doctor** · January 31st, 2008, 07:04 PM

Sorry been not around for a bit - i sat on the couch to make a phone call and ended up falling asleep - with no phone call made. Then had a shower when i woke up. Am tired but i guess that is expected! I'm just checking now Kass, hopefully won't be too much longer.

That much licorice in a week isn't too bad... That's a standard sized packet i think - but i don't think i could eat licorice at the moment. Oh well, i'm going to keep it in mind anyway - i'll be so frustrated if i go over after all this family talk of "always premmie babies"!

**Kazmar** · January 31st, 2008, 07:07 PM

get as much sleep as u can ash!!!!

**The[cookie]Doctor** · January 31st, 2008, 07:08 PM

This might not be the best place to ask, but Sally, i just had a read of that article and it says preterm labour with a history of two or more abortions... Does anyone know if that counts for miscarriages as well, or is it to do with procedure? (sorry of this is inappropriate or offensive to anyone i'm just curious)
