My blood pressure continues to be just a little high. The midwives said that the only "cure" for it at this point will be to have the baby. So, I've been given the go ahead to try to get the baby to come out. We bought raspberry leaf tea on the way home tonight - I have to start drink 4 cups a day. Next week, the midwife will start sweeping the membranes. I'm told it's not very comfortable but that it does a decent job of helping things move along. She nixed castor oil at this point saying that it actually induces labor whereas right now we only want to encourage labor.
My personal feeling is that the baby will stay in until its due date (Dec 24) but not much longer. I guess we'll find out.
