2 weeks left and getting anxious

alexandra44

Anyone else getting close and anxious to go into labor on their own?
I was a FTP after a cervadil and pit induction at 41 weeks, and I'm soo nervous I won't go into labor on my own, which is the stipulation for a VBAC at my hospital. I never dilated and DS never dropped till my water was broken last time, and I was so excited after last appointment when this baby was 'sitting low', but yesterday the Dr said baby was high again :. Just want to know things are going to go differently I guess, which I know is impossible to predict.

I totally understand why you're feeling anxious, especially based on your experience last time.  All I can say is the average FTM will go into labor at 41 weeks, 1 day (some studies say 3 days) and often inductions just don't work because your body obviously isn't ready for labor yet if it hasn't gone into labor on its own.  The average STM will go into labor at 40 weeks, 3 days and normal human gestation ranges from 38-42 weeks.  You're still a little while off from that.  It'll happen.  Just keep thinking positive thoughts and let your body do it's thing!

GL!
