Castor oil

Hi, well on the 6th of oct I was 40 weeks and 3 days. I had some contractions off and and, but nothing much. They always seemed to disappear after a few hours. My husband was anxious to take time off work to he incuraged me to try cartor oil. so I took 2 oz in some root beer. 6 hours later  at 12:45am diarrhea and stronger contractions started.  At 5:45 am we were at the hospital and contractions were about 3-4 min apart. At 11:31 am our baby boy was born.  7lbs 5 oz!

Awww, you've just given us all something to look forward to!  We're just so happy for you guys!  Now remember since he wanted these days off, you sit down and let him do ALL the work.  I would milk the new mommy thing to the limit!  The old Mississippi women would tell you the 1st 4WEEKS you are not to wash dishes or cook b/c putting your hands in cold water will cause arthritis later on.  SMILE!  Enjoy this time with your new addition you've earned it!
