5 cm dilated, 80% effaced, membranes are stripped and...
still NOTHING, ZIP, ZERO, ZILCH, NADA - labor does not even seem close, urrrrghh!!!! I even ventured out in the 116 degree weather today to see if walking around shopping would start something up, but of course NOT! (And I didn't even find anything cute to buy except a pack of stickers for DS#1 b/c he was being so good).
After 13 weeks of modified bedrest, 3 of which were in the hospital and on IV Mag, I just can not believe these babies won't come out!
The "plan" is for the hospital to call me in after 12 noon on Friday- b/c OB wants to be done w/ office hours, but if they are too busy (which could very well happen) my induction may have to postponed till the following Tuesday (b/c of the holiday weekend) at almost 39 weeks! I honestly will have to kill my OB if she makes me wait until the following week as I am so ready to be DONE!
Sorry for the rant but I figured that those of you who had term twins would understand, Okay pity party over now.....

Oh man, I will keep my fingers crossed for you that your induction is not delayed. I can only imagine your frustration after all of that time on bedrest. Hang in there the best you can!
If it makes you feel better, I am still waiting as well - 3 cm dilated, almost fully effaced, Baby A at zero station, and lost mucus plug. And I am fully anticipating walking into the hospital on September 2 to be induced - unless, to make things interesting, they decide to come tomorrow during the hurricane/tropical storm (we are in the northeast).
It is sooo hard. Good vibes coming your way that labor will begin ASAP!!!!
I walked around like that the week before my induction (this was with my 2nd set). Just think of these last days like icing on the cake development wise. Good luck!
Riversong: I hope you are hanging in there too! I have a feeling this may seem like the longest week of my life! Hoping you go into labor soon or have a smooth induction
Can't wait to hear your story/see pics of your little ones.
Schoolsout: I soo hope you are right, but have a feeling like I may owe you $10
