until Patrick will be making his appearance. After all these contractions I've been having, I was only a fingertip dilated...but my OB went ahead and manually dilated me to a 1...ouch! He was trying to strip my membranes but couldn't quite get to them. So I will have an NST and biophysical profile on Tuesday, get checked again, and then will be admitted Thursday night to start oral medication, start pitocin Friday morning, and should have a baby by that night!. 8 days!
That's what the doc did for me today. Manually made me bigger. Holy mother it hurt for me and I was 1 1/2cm now a 2 according to her stretching so I can only imagine how painful it was for you being barely dilated. You have my sympathy. But I hear ya about knowing when there coming makes it more real.
