Sometimes science fails me

After being truly ready to deliver, I read up on "natural ways" to induce labor. There are some suggestions that we've all heard of and there are the more obscure options like eating pineapple.

My thoughts on...

1. walking - when you're 9 months pregnant and 35lbs heavier with incessant back pain, walking isn't as straightforward as it sounds

2. castor oil - does vomiting induce labor?

3. spicy food - definitely the best choice so far

4. sex - really? I think I've never felt less attractive in my entire life than when I'm 9 months pregnant

5. pineapple - this cannot possibly be true, but I like pineapple

I'll be damned. I had pineapple for dessert and went into labor exactly 2 hours later.
