Coincidence or just freaky??
Last Wednesday, jewel’ left this comment:
i’m probably late and labor has already started but on the off chance i’m not. While i was in highschool (we won’t say how long ago) there was a home for unwed mothers (have to give you an idea there of how long ago). Some of the girls came to the same high school. They had this running joke about who would go into labor next or first the days that one of the meals served was grilled cheese sandwiches and cream of tomato soup. Evidently every time that was served someone in the home went into labor.
Fast forward a few years i was still 6 weeks away from my due date, happened to have said grilled cheese sandwich and tomatoe soup for lunch, my water broke that night. 4 years later with second child, same thing had the soup and sandwiches for dinner, was in labor the following morning. Not sure if it was just the thoughts of it that caused it for me or was just a freaky coincidence but may be worth a try.

I’ve been wanting to tell you this for a week!
Just guess what Jes had for lunch last Friday?
Grilled cheese and tomato soup. No lie. I told her I read it on the internet and she promptly made herself some. Friday night she went into labor.
Is that weird or what??

Kaya,
That’s just too freaky, isn’t it. I wonder if there’s something in the tomato soup and cheeze that combines to act as a natural inducer? Inquiring minds want to know!

As grilled cheese and tomatoe soup aren’t a common dish around here I’m glad our babies don’t just stay inside
Anyway, I think it’s worth a study, to say the least.
Definitely strange. Wow. O_o

That is really, really, freaky. I’ve got a funny grilled cheese / tomato soup story. My ex and I were eating said combo for lunch the day I asked him for a divorce 10 years ago – he swore he’d never eat it again.
Then… our daughter invited him for lunch on Wednesday and (ha, ha, ha) she cooked him the same meal.

junebug–I totally think it’s hilarious! My ex refused to eat grilled cheese & tomato soup because THAT could NEVER be counted as DINNER.
Dinner had to have 2 lbs of MEAT & POTATOES & canned VEGGIES & freakin DESSERT. Heaven forbid the wife ever get an EASY dinner.
And..I thank GOD(s)-esses) (whoever’s in charge) that I’m divorced!!
LOL thats just too weird AND funny … hey whatever works, right?
That may be weird, but as long as it works – why not?
No midwife here to say something about it? Or a nutrition specialist? Or a MD?

I’ve heard the same thing said of Chinese and Indian food. Something about spicy food. But not about grilled cheese and tomato soup (yummmmmmm…….)
There are just way too many possible combinations or reasons it may work if it really does induce the labor. Then again it could just be in our heads that it does. i am curious though, does Jes think it did?
How is YOUR baby doing? On the mend? She is one very brave very strong young lady.

Weeeell, a week or so ago, I just happened to buy some cheese to make grilled cheese sandwiches… so I’ll have to keep that in mind. XD
4 days and counting.
If Jes hadn’t been literally popping when she had the grilled cheese and tomato soup I would of thought, ‘Whoa freaky shit!’ but…I smell a coincidence

Don’t tell the docs or the pharmaceutical companies, they’ll find a way to make it illegal to eat tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches if you are pregnant because there is a lot more money for them in a pitocin drip (to induce labor)….
