Feeling very discouraged

I hate to vent, but it is now 12:20 at night and I'm waiting with my fiancé to be discharged from l&d. I was afraid earlier that my water was leaking and I was having awful pains (turned out to be linked to the UTI I have been taking antibiotics for). It was extremely discouraging to be told that my cervix was still "super thick" and I need to wait 2 more weeks before even thinking about induction. I'm 40 weeks tomorrow and it feels like it's never going to end now. And I feel like I just wasted everyone's time including my own seeing as I need to go into work at 9, which means getting maybe 6 hours of sleep tonight. Plus the midwife had to come out here just to tell me what I had already been told (to go home and relax). I just want LO here....and to be able to bend over again :(

    Sorry that it's not here yet. Hopefully you go into labor before the 2 weeks. You made it 40 so as sucky as 2 more is, it's about to be worth it very soon. I'm being induced earlier because of high risk complications but baby may have to stay in the nicu so I don't know which is really ideal so just keep doing what you are and it will be here so soon.

    Just remember that things can change out of nowhere. You can be not dilated one minute and in labor the next. Hang in there.

    I had a similar report about my cervix at my 40w appointment. I know what a bummer that is! Im trying to stay positive that labor will come on its own before induction. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you too! Your LO will be here before you know it.

    Don't feel bad.  The exact same thing happened to me last night.  I had a gush of fluid, a mad dash to the hospital, and many hours spent bring told I basically peed my pants and my cervix is not even a 1 yet.  I felt the same way you do...embarrassed and like I wasted everyone's time.

    I don't know if you have an induction scheduled yet.  I have one scheduled for Wednesday and have started to train my mindset that that the day I will have this baby.  I may go into labor before then, but I am not going to mess with my emotions and expectations by counting on it.  I also want this pregnancy over, but in the grand scheme of things a handful of days won't push me over the edge...I hope :)

    Just try to relax as anything can happen. I had no signs of labor and was stuck at 3cm for 2 weeks. When my water broke I was 10cm within an hour. Pretty quick for a FTM I was told. Your body knows what it is doing. Trust it. I pray it is soon for you.

    Hang in there!! The tip I used after going past my due date was to give myself something to look forward to each day as kind of a present for still being pregnant. Most days it was food related. I would make myself some cookies, went and bought new nail polish one day, just little things. Good luck!
