other dr. burst my bubble...

my own OB was very optimistic that i would go soon with this baby. 

 

I am 3cm, 50% effaced and -2 station (which i thought was pretty good progress). she did sweet my membranes right before 38 weeks but it didnt work and then this week i had to see another dr. because she is the Dr. on call at the hospital this week and not in the office.

 

the other dr. said i am the same as last week (no progress) and that he considers his head "still pretty far up there" and doesn't want to sweep me again - would rather let nature take its course. My dr. was with more for birth last time and knows how hard it was for me to get my daughter out and she was 8 lbs and this baby is measuring to be more than that so i think thats why she swept me.

I do understand his view but i just had alot more optimism with i dealt with my own dr!!! and he is the one who is at the hospital for my due date week. He was nice but i just LOVE my dr. and cant imagine doing this without her.

 

wahhhhhhhhh.  i Know that i am being really impatient... and need to relax.

I feel you. I'm the same as you, 38 weeks and 2 days. My baby is already measuring 8 pounds and I have zero dialation and zero effacement and my baby's head is at -3 station. I've had absolutely no progress, could be worse.

Keep in mind that dilation and effacement really don't mean anything when it comes to the timing of your labor. Even though you haven't made any progress in the past week you could still deliver at any time! Hang in there, Mamma! Your little one will be in your arms soon.
