Unofficial Labor-inducing Savannah Secret

I have several relatives that are on the cusp of giving birth. I mean, literally days of their due dates. Kelly. Ut-um, Stephanie. Yew-hew, laaaadies. And, Lea, Lauren, Avery, and April, you may want to read-on, too. I found this fun information at www.southernmamas.com . I can not help but think of you all.

Needless to say, this article is being reposted here. P.S. I have eaten at Toucan’s about three times. It’s scrump-dilly-icous. If you need a date, I am happy to go with you. And, I will even drive you down River Street afterward!

Here you go girls:

Wanna give birth before Christmas?

Or maybe you’re hoping yours will be a New Year’s Baby?Here’s an unofficial labor-inducing Savannah secret: a beloved local restaurant serves a special entree that’s rumored to induce labor. That’s right. The Thai shrimp(or chicken)and eggplant at The Toucan Cafe, a SouthernMamas favorite, is the special to order before going in for the pitocin.In the 13 years the restaurant’s been open, several customers have said they went into the labor the day after eating the meal, says owner Steve Magulias. The magic meal isn’t on the regular lunch or dinner menu, so just call in advance to order it before coming into the restaurant @ 531 Stephenson Ave. on Savannah’s southside. 912.352.2233

Of course, if the magic Toucan meal doesn’t do the job, we’ve been told taking a ride on the cobblestones on River Street works pretty well, too.

Got any other tips for expectant moms who are tired of being pregnant and want the baby to come now? Please share.

Thanks for the shout-out Christy. Your blog is beautiful. Another suggestion: beloved Savannah prenatal yoga teacher Ann Carroll says pressing and massaging your inner ankle is rumored to induce labor!! So add that to your Toucan night list of activities. Just don’t massage and drive River Street at the same time!
