We can't have kids so I would love to talk about non-kid struggles. I mean this is great, but YP wifes without kids have issues too. I have been trying to find some one I can relate to. Hey Anne, and Chantel,
My husband and I have been married for coming up on four years. We can’t have kids so I would love to talk about non-kid struggles. I mean this is great, but YP wifes without kids have issues too. I have been trying to find some one I can relate to.

We'll talk about it in a couple years, but for now, our house is a no-kid zone. We even have white furniture. :-) What are some of your non-kid struggles? Maybe we have some in common.

I was just telling my husband tonight that I can't wait until I can finally breathe again without feeling like someone is trying to suffocate me! Fortunately for me though, I am scheduled for a c-section on the 12th, so I only have a few more days. Hopefully some of these suggestions will work for you! Good luck and let us know how everything goes. I am 37 weeks and totally feel your pain.

I did the same thing and my baby came that night- he was a week late and I was so ready for him to be out!Some people say not to use it though because it can cause the baby stress. I'm not sure but it worked perfectly for me. I am so surprised how many of you tried castor oil!

Worked with one. One foot in the gutter, one foot on the curb. Makes you feel like an idiot, but it really opens things up. Apparently there is a restaurant in LA that serves a labor-inducing salad. But they don't give out the recipe. Hahaha. Anyhow, the curb walking will be extra good if you are fishing shoes out of the gutter. :) Good luck! Curb walking. Worked with one.

I have heard the caster oil thing, but my midwife said that it really just acts like a laxative so it makes you have to poop, and those "little contractions" if that is what you can call them start bigger contractions. However, if it is not the right time and you get them going, then the labor can be more difficult and longer. It's hard when you are so uncomfortable to wait.
