Lauren has officially carried this pregnancy longer than she did Lolli's. Today is a sad day for everyone because Lauren's mom leaves town, so it's now official that she won't be here for the birth. Lauren and Zach tried many things to encourage baby to come out (evening primrose oil, sex, nipple stimulation, black and blue cohosh, even having her membranes swept twice) but nothing worked.
Lauren's doula suggested that all the supplements and red raspberry leaf tea (full of vitamins and nutrients for pregnancy) may have actually slowed the demise of her placenta, so Poppy isn't getting the message that it's time to come out. Lauren's going to cut down on the vitamins and supplements, and stop drinking the tea. Maybe then Poppy will get the hint!
