Nothing? NOTHING?!!

Welp, I went to my 40 week appointment today and... well... Nothing!! Nothings changed, haven't dilated any further, no induction date was set up, no changes... I'm back to "square 1" ... feeling anxious and frustrated.  UGH!!! I'm so upset.. all I want to do is cry now... All I got was another Dr. appointment scheduled for Friday....

So much on my mind it's starting to get overwhelming... This S U C K S!!!

Well, the contractions haven't stopped at all, but they're not getting any more steady.  My cervix is still posterior, also.. (too far back)..Has to come closer so that I can dilate... I found out what my appointment was for on Friday... it's for a NST... They didn't tell me that... I looked it up in my patient chart online actually... So I guess that's what I'm waiting for now... Although I know the only one stressed is me... She's fine... LOL

Yeah, that's true.. I hope I go into labor by Friday... So that I don't have to waste more gas and time at a 15 second Dr.'s appointment...

Time them and try and rest. My doc had several women she said that were not dilated ir softened at all who within 6 hours of their doctor's appt went into labor. Never know!!

Actually, I think I better start timing these contractions... They seem to have become more steady, but one minute they're steady and then the next day I'm like.. Um Hello in there?

But my doctor did say, if they become more frequent to go up to the hospital between now and Friday so they can check my cervix again.  UGH this back and forth running around....

Yeah, I know it's home stretch. I've felt like it's been home stretch since I've been 35 weeks.  I really just feel like it's me.  I'm not worried about my baby girl... She's doing fine... It's just me.. I'm tired of being pregnant, I can't take it anymore, I don't sleep, I pee every 5-10 minutes LITERALLY... (I know because I watch the clock) and I'm just emotionally and physically drained... I wish they scheduled an induction 2 weeks ago when they were talking about it.... SMH

She told me today that my cervix is still posterior... It's still too far back...(I guess) So, I'm not even sure if a membrane sweep would work.. They've never even suggested it to me...

You're not at square 1... you're in the home stretch. They didn't schedule my induction until I was two weeks past my due date. It's less than what's already past. Cheer up.
