The Labor Inducing Scavenger Hunt

On Saturday, August 27th, I started "early labor". This mild pain that I had was constant, non-timeable, and dull. My midwife told me to move things along I should walk- a LOT. I spent my entire day Saturday walking, then had to rest from it on Sunday. Monday I went on a short walk to the gas station for a pop and had some contractions that were stronger than the others. I decided to go on a super long walk after dinner, but needed some entertaining during it since Jacob was at work. I enlisted  my friends to give me a scavenger hunt list. I got home from my walk at around 6:30 on the 29th. About 12 hours later I was in active labor!


So here it is, the secret to inducing labor. At least for me, anyway.

Bird Poop

House with a Red Door

Green Fence

A Coffee Shop

A Baby ( I cheated a little here- didn't wanna be the freak lady who takes pictures of stranger's babies)

A Sign with the Number 21 on it

Something that Reminds you of your Best Friend

Something with "IU" on it (Or your Rival University)

Your Dream Car

Somebody Walking their Dog (I had to be sly here)

A Blue Mailbox

A Bike Parked in Front of a House

A Blue House

A White Fence

 

 

By the way: I am pretty sure you could shave a couple hours of your wait off if you find a Tomato and an Old Man with a Walking Cane. I didn't. Perhaps if I did labor would have started at 4 am instead of 6!

Good luck, Happy (and safe) Laboring!
