1) How many days overdue are you? 8

2) Symptoms/How are you feeling? No symptoms to indicate labor is going to come on its own.

3) Appointments? Tonight to start cervidil for induction tomorrow.

4) Doing anything to induce labor? Just waiting for my induction now, I've tried everything I could (except castrol oil) to avoid it, but my doctor didn't want me going too much past 41 weeks.

5) GTKY: What is your favorite children's book? Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. I got it as a Christmas present from my 1st grade teacher who I loved and sadly died from cancer 6 months later, so the book meant a lot to me. Now there is even a movie coming out later this year.

I belong here now lol.

2) Symptoms/How are you feeling? Today really emotional. Inconsistent contractions for awhile, some crampiness and been losing my plug/bloody show since Wednesday night after having my membrane swept.

3) Appointments? Next up an ultrasound Tuesday and ob appt Weds to book induction.

4) Doing anything to induce labor? Walking, sex, bouncing on the ball. The membrane sweep as mentioned but that was two days ago.....boo

1) 3 days over now
2) No symptoms really. Pretty sure I've lost my plug though.
3) Went back to the doctor today for NST. All was good. Still 2cm and 80%. Scheduled to go back again Monday morning for another NST. She said they would have me back again a couple days after that for an ultrasound and to discuss induction. Hoping it doesn't come to that.
4) Left work late (yes still working) so I didn't get a walk in like I wanted. Planning to tomorrow though.
5) Hungry Catapillar
