Alliesmommy - December 19

Well I am tired of being pregnant and I will pretty much try anything to get this kid out of me(hehehe!) She really needs to come before X-mas because I already bought her this really cute X-mas outfit!!! Plug- Anyways, I have heard that birth patterns run in your family line and so I asked my mom how long it took her to have me after she lost hers and she said an hour, I lost mine at about 10 a.m. this morning so hopefully I will go into labor soon. Does this sound like a true fact about the whole birth pattern thing if not than what can i believe? Spicy Food- The other thing was I have heard spicy food helps with the labor process to move along is this true?

Ok the plug has nothing to do with how long until labor starts. You lose it when your cervix opens even a little bit. I lost mine 3 weeks ago and I am only 3 cm. Now, as far as birth pattens, the number of days before or past your due date and the size of your baby are the things pa__sed on from mother to daughter. They say spicy food can put you into labor, but that rarley works. The only things that are acctually proven to work are nipple stimulation (which should only be done with supervision b/c it can mess with the babys heart beat), and castor oil. People tend to take too much castor oil and it causes really bad cramping and explosive diarrhea. If you decide to use castor oil, only take 2 tbls AT THE MOST within a 6 hour period.
