Eggplant and Old Wives



Well, there is an old wives tale that says Eggplant Parmesan induces labor... there is actually a restaurant in Cobb County, GA that claims 300 babies (over the last 23 years) have been born within 48 hrs of eating their eggplant parmesan.

That said, my Mom and I went to Olive Garden yesterday for lunch and BOTH ordered the dish.

Less than 24 hrs later, my midwife Noel told me I'm almost 3 cm dilated, 70% effaced, and Baby Faith is in the -1 station. :) Noel was like "wow, that is a HUGE change in a week...I guess I'll be seeing you REALLY soon"... so then I said "how about tonight or tomorrow morning?" She laughed.

So, whether I was dilated or not before the eggplant parmesan, I have to say it seems very "coincidental"...

So, here is a picture or two of me- the huge preggo lady who can't wait to hold little Baby Faith soon!
