Just got home from my 40 week appointment and it sucks to say, but I am STILL 4cm and 80% effaced! WTH?! After days of contractions, walking, using an exercise ball, EPO, sex, spicy food, you name it. All for nothing!
I know this board is tired about hearing everyone biitch and moan about being "done", but this is just so frustrating and no one else seems to understand, so I just had to put it here; besides, I'm due tomorrow, so it's not like I'm upset and still have 3 weeks to go. I have the option to cancel my scheduled C-section on the 7th and give myself until the 15th since I am hoping for a VBAC, but I am torn. Maybe my body just isn't built for this, maybe it's just not meant to be, and a C-section is my fate. I don't know.
Ugh, this SUCKS!

LOL that was so cute! I'm even tearing up a little for God knows what reason. I just love how silly the couple is together. While we're trying to entertain ourselves, I've found a great website that made me LOL. Maybe you can laugh yourself into labor!

Cheer up I had my 40 week appt today also. I am only 1cm and 50% effaced.
Thanks Seashell, I was hoping to have her by now too! But tomorrow is my due date, and my mom SWEARS she's coming tomorrow, so we shall see. It's just a little disheartening I think because I have a deadline to make to try and avoid a surgery, and it's just getting closer and closer everyday.
That video of that poor woman overdue with twins made me crack up! I might just do that tomorrow!
And rtittle, it's nice to know I'm not the only one at the finish line with no trophy yet! Hopefully things start moving soon for both of us!
Sorry to hear you are frustrated! Hang in there! As of Friday, I had made no progress either, and my EDD was yesterday. I'm sure I would be torn with the c-section vs VBAC decision too. Sending good thoughts your way!
I hear ya!!! My due date is Monday and I made very little progress from last week to this week. It sucks, I broke down into tears at the doctor's office yesterday. My mom was actually laughing at me!
Oh well, I'm counting on my week and a half off before baby now. It's incredibly frustrating to hear about all of the girls that go in the 38/39 weeks, don't get my wrong I'm HAPPY for them, just jealous
ETA: I'm only 1cm and 50% effaced, so you're further than me!!!
