I cried at my appt this morning

I never in a million years thought it would be this hard for me to 'hurry up and wait.' When I had my internal this morning and found out I still havent progressed (still just a soft cervix since 36 weeks), I just couldnt hold it in anymore.

I felt like such a baby but my MW was great, consoling me and just explaining things. For so long I had myself convinced I was going to go early (even though the MW told me 90% of her FTMs dont) that I think its just been a harder pill for me to swallow.

Ive been very lucky and have had an easy pregnancy with no complications or scares so I should feel blessed rather than frustrated, but its just so hard for me to sit and not have any control over my situation whatsoever. I feel like Im doing something wrong (even though I know Im not).

I think I just want to meet him so badly. My DH has been fantastic and so supportive but its still so tough. Its like he is so close and yet so far away at the same time.

OK, enough of my whining/pity party. Thanks for reading...I always tend to feel better after I vent to you ladies. XOXO

    Im due tomorrow and have no progress, not even softening. I totally understand the pity party, I cried all day yesterday. If I go til tues, they'll induce me, but that feels like forever away, even though logically I know it really isn't.

    Don't feel bad at all... I cried after leaving my appointment today. My doc said I was still closed. I told her that on my last visit, the doc said I was at 1cm. So then she said, "Well, we can say 1-ish." Then she started talking about how if I show no signs of progress next week (after a u/s and other tests), we will talk about induction at 41 weeks. Ugh! She must have realized how upset I was becoming, because she also mentioned that it really doesn't mean anything to have no progress and a lot of her patients had sporadic water breaking this week. Still can't help the waterworks, though.

    With my first I was closed and maybe 50% at my 37,38, and 39 week appointments! I was sad too... After my 39 week apt I went into labor at 39 weeks 4 days and had my LO 2 days early!

    Im glad Im not alone.

    I just have negative desire to be induced. For whatever silly reason I feel like Im being cheated if I dont get the whole contractions-water-breaking-at-home-drive-to-the-hospital-all-amped-up experience, you know? Plus, I really want to do a natural birth and its my understanding that after getting pitocin that makes it really hard.

    Waterworks city!

    I cried after my appointment this morning too. I've been at 1cm for 4 weeks now... With all the pelvic pain & BH I've been having I was sure there would be some progress. Hang in there, we'll be meeting our LO's soon!

    Yes! I kinda feel like I am failing somehow if it doesn't happen on its own. Also, I had to be born via c-section after my mother had a terrible (I will save you the story) experience with pitocin.

    I had the same experience yesterday. I didn't have an appointment last week and I've been feeling so different that I thought for sure there would be major progress and then nothing! It put me in a rotten mood all day.

    I feel better today though. I just tried to think about the few little things I can still do before baby comes... brunch with friends, a few final touches to the nursery, finish reading my baby books. I hope you feel better tomorrow too.

    Luckily the "progress" actually means nothing :)  People can be dilated to 5 for weeks and have nothing and people can have no progress one day and be in labor the next.  Don't put too much stock in it ladies!

    This is what I keep trying to remind myself of.  It's SO TRUE.  My OB basically tells me the same thing.

           Totally unrelated, I just wanted to say we have the same name picked out! You clearly have good taste :)
