Looks like one more week
Well, no contractions and no dialation. This boy is stubborn! The doctor tried to strip my membranes, but couldn't because he hasn't dropped down far enough. She thinks he is about 8-1/2 pounds or so right now. She says if she were to induce me now, I'd end up with a c-section. So....the plan is for me to go to her next Tuesday morning for an ultrasound and internal check. Then, I will check into the hospital next Tuesday night for cervadil to continue softening my cervix. Then they will start the pitocin to induce labor on Wednesday morning. Hopefully I will be able to have a vaginal delivery and not a c-section. She said I could still go on my own, but I got the impression she thinks it'll go to next week. So....I am so miserable and uncomfortable, but at least we know our boy will arrive next Wednesday at the latest.

Oh Mary, my heart goes out to you. I know your pain! That last week with Sierra I tried everything under the sun...and I swear by evening primerose. I took it at 9:30 is that night (comes in a pill, you can get it in the herbal section at walmart for less than $5) all the next day I was contracting and the following morning Sierra was here :)!
Sending labor dust your way!!!
