Want to Go Into Labor?

You’ve probably heard the, especially if you’re near your due date. All these suggestions on how to induce labor – like having sex, eating spicy food, exercising, walking. Do they really work?

Kipper’s friend Emma is hoping that something works. She’s long overdue and is ready to try anything. I gotta tell – I’m a skeptic. And my opinion didn’t change much after today’s on-air conversation. One woman swears caster oil sparked her labor – but she was already dilated 4 cm; another says caster oil did nothing for her but give her bathroom issues.

There was one recommendation, however, that is intriguing. In fact, it’s actually garnered national attention for it’s claim. Scalinis Italian Restaurant in Smyrna,  Georgia swears its Eggplant Parmesan induces labor. In fact, they’re so confident they actually have a page on their website dedicated to “Eggplant “Babies”.  Does it really work? There are 300 babies featured on their website , soooo…

If you’re desperate to kick that kid out, maybe it’s worth the road trip. It’ll take you a couple of hours and will set you back about $15 per serving . The worst case – you eat  great Italian dinner.

Let us know if you try it and it works!
