So I went to the doc today for my 38 week appt fully expecting to be told I was at least 2 cm dilated, if not more. The way I've been feeling lately (cramping, contractions, sick to my stomach, etc) would surely preface some good progress...in most women.
I start out by telling the doc "If I haven't made any progress, I give up". She gives me a "stop whining" look and checks me. "Well...you're still only about a fingertip". Hmmm...I looked at my fingertip and managed to force a whimpy smile and mumble "Yeah, I figured as much". Doc tells me I need a few more days of "good" crampiness and contractions. OK, I suppose I'll get right on that?
She closed the appointment by rubbing my shoulder and telling me "Look, don't get frustrated. Remember, everyone delivers." Mmmm hmmm.....

Come on! You've got 13 days still! Jonathan was 7 days late! I'm kidding. Hope you are feeling good. Well, as good as you can be!
I hope you start progressing soon! I broke down at the doc with Sarah because I was soooo done! they called me that same day to schedule an induction date they felt so bad for me!
with this last one I tried all the "home remedies" except castor oil all the last week. clary sage in the tub, raspberry leaf tea and a warm bath, pressure points and by the time I went to the hospital for being induced the day after my due date I was to a 5!!! That never happened with any of my others
Good Luck!!! Can't wait to see pics of him!
