Well I am officially 4 days overdue and starting to wonder if this baby is ever planning on coming out. At my last OB appointment I was dilated one lousy centimeter and I haven't had any contractions so I've been feeling like we need to take some action to get things going. My husband has been repeatedly singing the Diana Ross tune “I'm Coming Out” to my belly, but so far it hasn't had any effect. I suspect baby M is not much of a disco fan.
My doctor suggested sex and Chinese food to get labor started, but honestly, sex is not appealing to me or my husband right now. Instead we decided to try the famous labor inducing salad at the Caioti Pizza Cafe in Studio City. The story goes that pregnant women start labor within 48 hours of eating the “The The Salad”. The salad has romaine lettuce, watercress, walnuts and gorgonzola cheese with a balsamic dressing. I had them add some chicken which my waitress assured me would not affect the “special properties” of the salad. It was a really yummy salad, but unfortunately here I am 48 hours later and still not in labor. There were 2 other pregnant ladies eating the salad at the same time as me, maybe they had better luck.
