my belly looks gross to me, but I heard I'll regret it later If I dont document it. So here's my…

You should've started at 34 weeks. But your stomach is not gross.

What will you be doing for natural induction?

@phasion, I started red raspberry leaf tea @ 35 weeks and been drinking 3-4 cups a day, eating 6-7 dates a day started at 36 weeks and 1300mg of evening primrose oil 1 orally at 35 weeks, 1 orally+1 vaginally at 36 week, then 2 orally+2 vaginally at night starting at 37 weeks but stopped when I found out the capsules were made with gelatin which may or may not be derived from pig skin/bones. pork is unclean so I had to stop when I couldn't find primrose oil locally that wasn't in a gelatin capsule

I've also worked out 4-5 days a week through out my pregnancy so I hope that helps as well

Oh perfect !!! I'm going to do the same exact thing once I reach 34-35 weeks. Do you do the perineal massage ? Also did you order your primrose oil if so where ?

Oh how does the raspberry leaf tea taste? Right now I'm drinking the pregnancy tea. I may do a whole entire batch so I can drink it hot or cold

@phasion, I'm scared to do the perineal massage, but this woman on YouTube said her midwife recommended rubbing olive oil generously down there before bedtime to prevent tearing and it worked for her, so that's what I've been doing. inserting the evening primrose oil up there helps to prevent tearing as well. I got my evening primrose oil from my local health food shop, but ive also seen it at Walmart, CVS, Walgreen's etc. Red raspberry tea actually isn't bad tasting, I drink it plain but u can add sugar/honey to it to sweeten it up. I've tried the pregnancy tea as well, I actually like the taste of pregnancy tea better than red raspberry leaf tea. Doing a whole batch is a good idea

Before I read your comment I thought, "Look at that beautiful belly."

@queeneden, aw thanks that made me feel good
