Feeling hopeless tonight! A poor me story.

At my 36, 37, and 38 week appointments I had not yet started thinning out or dilating.  After my 38 week appointment, I was scheduled for an ultrasound because my OB thought the baby was either not growing or my fluid was low and said she'd induce me if either one was the case.  Of course, being induced is not ideal especially with no progress.  But silly me got my hopes up for a baby this week!  Ultrasound was yesterday... baby is measuring fine... and my fluid is at 12.  No induction.  I had contractions for 6 hours last night, then they stopped.  I feel like this child is going to stay inside of me until he's 18.  I still have 10 days til EDD and I know my LO will have to come out at SOME point... I am just getting impatient.  Poor me story over.

    I know how you feel! I have had no progress so far - I haven't had any contractions, no MP sightings, and the baby still seems pretty high.  I feel like I am never going to meet this LO!  Hearing all of the stories about early babies is making it hard to be patient....

    I went through the same thing with DD. It was VERY frustrating! I even cried at every appt that I didn't make progress. Try and enjoy your time while you can. Go out on a date with DH or take yourself for a pedicure.

    I have been 1 cm for over 9 weeks.

    I cried when I was told I would have to be induced this friday. I really wanted to go to 40 weeks or longer.

    I know you are frustrated but just know that your baby is safe on the inside. Try to rest up and get all your naps and sleep in.

    I know it's hard but it's only a few more weeks.

    Hang in there.

    Nothing here either (i'm a bit behind you).

    I only want it out so I can driver properly, be able to be independent and get up a chair to get things, go shopping without being stared at, numb hands, extremely swollen feet, nothing fits, etc. And I have a cold so I'm even more miserable.

    I have BH they don't hurt, aren't annoying or anything I wouldn't have noticed unless my ultrasound tech pointed it out.

    I hear you. I've been sitting at 3cm for a week and a half, and was up to 70% effaced as of Monday... but still nothing.

    I am ready. DD was born at 37 weeks and change and though I tried to not assume this pregnancy will be similar, passing the day she was born was rough!  It doesn't help that this baby is very big and I am just so uncomfortable (measuring at 43+ weeks as of Monday, baby is greater than 98th %ile for size), i want to be done.

    I am trying to keep my mind off it and focus on my time left before the madness starts. It was easier to do that without a 4 year old at home last time though!

    I say go out with H, laze around in bed in the mornings, and just spoil yourself. Because things are going to change VERY quickly once your  baby arrives!
