I was just wondering how many of us were still out there waiting so patiently to deliver?
I have until next Tuesday until I am holding my little boy! (it still feels forever away.) I have to have a c section due to medical reasons and as much as I don't want a c section I am slightly happy b/c I have not progressed AT ALL and am really upset about that .
Re: How many are left still to deliver?
I'm still waiting! I had an u/s and NST to make sure she's still doing well and she is, so I just keep waiting
I finally progressed to 2 cm since my last appt. and he said he could feel her head, so she's much lower. I've been stuck at 1 cm for weeks, so that was exciting for me!
He stripped my membranes this morning and I've been having sporadic contractions this morning, so I guess we'll see.... I'm doubtful though, since I've had 2 episodes of timeable contractions that went nowhere.
I'm still waiting too! I hadn't had any progress at all so wasn't expecting anything at my OB appt on Tuesday. Sure enough though she said I was now at 1cm and she went ahead and stretched my cervix a bit (ouch!). I'm scheduled for another appt on Tuesday (my due date) unless LO decides to show before then.
Honestly, I'm super anxious to meet him but I've been feeling sick since Monday afternoon and I'm really hoping I'll feel better before he decides to arrive so I'd really be okay with him hanging out just a bit longer.
Me!
My appt. last Friday I was not dilated at all but the Dr. said my cervix was soft. Hopefully my appt. tomorrow will have better news.
... I can't take much more! I'm in pain and an emotional wreck. I want people to stop checking in on me, and asking me when i'm going to have this baby. Pity party for me
I'm still here! I'm due next friday. I got checked yesterday at my appt. and am 2cm dilated and 50% effaced. My midwife said all the walking I do at work (yes, still at work!) is helping me to open up. Hang in there ladies! We're almost there

Today is my due date. As of yesterday I had progressed from 1cm (I think it was more like a fingertip and they were humoring me) and thick (ie not effaced at all) to 1 cm (easily and painlessly stretched to 2cm) and 50% effaced. So, at least my body is doing what it is supposed to do! My OB does an appt at 41 weeks, and does an induction at 41w1d. I was really worried about the possibility of the induction not working, as my mom was induced three times with me before finally having me at43w5d. They promised me that they are serious about getting babies out, and if/when I go in next Friday to be induced I won't be leaving pregnant. Hooray! So, at the most 8 days until we get this show on the road!
I'm still here too, technically not due til March 3rd, but just left my 38 week appointment and my OB finalized plans to induce on the 28th (check in at midnight the 27th). I've been at 2cm for at least 2 weeks now, but, I was only 50% effaced last week and I'm 70% this week. So I did make some progress. Doc still keeps saying I could go any day now and I've been pretty sore this week, so I'm hoping he's right. I had my son at 38 weeks and they're guessing this baby girl is already a lot bigger than he was. At my 36 week u/s they had her at 7 lbs 10 oz and her head was measuring at 39 weeks, which I realize can be off, but my fundal height was 41 today and I just feel like she's bigger/heavier than my son was, so I'm pretty sure she's big.
I've been having timeable, strong, and long BH for almost 3 weeks now; even down to 4 minutes apart one day but they stopped after 5 hours (I did call the doc that day and he told me to wait it out b/c they weren't really, really painful).
Hoping for some magic from the full moon!
Still here--1 day past due date.
Internal yesterday said I'm 1.5 ("almost" 2 cm) and 70% effaced, -2 station. I was told to get walking, having sex, and to start contracting (more easily said than done). I was also told to try nipple stimulation, actually (didn't think my OB practice was all about all these natural induction methods). I have a 41 wk appt on Weds and then if he hasn't appeared yet, induction probably 2-3 days after that (next weekend).
PLEASE come naturally little man!
