hey all out there in the bump community! I am 38wks and 5d and I'm telling you this boy must me comfortable in there! I have done almost all I can think of to help with labor and still nothing yet! My doctor swept my membrane last Thursday had contractions all weekend went in Sunday night for lack of movement and he was just snug as a bug in there, still only dilated to 1cm, I have had all the sex ate pineapple and spicy food done acupressure and reflexology and still nothing, but As long as he his still getting healthy all is well, just so over being pregnant! I'm due March 27 so there isn't a huge rush to get him out he's just so tall he pushed on both ends! Anyone else due the 27th or around there? How are you all feeling?!? I know we are all excited to meet our little ones! Any tips for sleep?

Due the 27th, dilated to a 4 since Monday (3 1/2 for the week prior to that and 80% effaced), membranes swept Monday. They scheduled me for induction Wednesday morning, called and said to wait because they had 2 other inductions still happening, said maybe the afternoon, then rescheduled to Thursday morning, then rescheduled for the afternoon, then rescheduled for Friday morning (this morning) and then pushed it off until later this morning before calling to tell me to plan to come in Monday morning. (They keep putting it off because they have had so many people come in while in labor that they don't want to try and induce me and be too far over extended staffing wise - feeling like everyone but me is having a baby...).
They keep saying to come in if my water breaks or if I start contractions but since we were monitored yesterday (worried I might have preeclampsia because of a long lasting headache - but no high blood pressure) for an hour and baby just powered through and there wasn't a single contraction recorded. I have tried everything I can think of (though I draw the line at castor oil personally) and am about ready to scream while waiting. Not to mention, the doctors haven't thought id make it this far along so my parent have been here a week and have to leave before Monday (thankfully, I have good parents, happy to have them here, but they live 10+ hours away so they can't really just go home). This baby is content as can be and I am beyond ready to have her out. Emotions = fried. Deep breaths...
