39 week appt.

So i just got back from my doc. appt.  He said that im 1.5-2 cm dilated (i was 1 last week!) The babies head is down as far as it can be and my cervix is thin.  He also said that i had bulging membranes and that i can pop any day now!!!  So that was exciting.  He was going to sech. an induction for the following week instead of an appt.  but i dont want to be induced so i just made the appt for next week and hope that i dont have to go!  

How is everyone else doing?

Yay!  Good for you...things are moving along....I wish they would for me....I'll be 40 weeks on Thurs....and they don't even check dilation at my office....ugh!  
I was initally scared at the thought of induction too, but at this point I think I might welcome it.....My little guy hadn't grown in 2 weeks as of my appt. last Fri. so i can't see the point in keeping him in there just hanging out!
I hope you go on your own before then....I think that's always the best way!

Im just terrified of pitocin.  I have heard horror stories of this and i just dont want it.  My body doesnt react well with drugs so im just scared i guess.  If i dont have this baby by next week im going to be induced, i am uncomfortable but i can handle it.  I really wanna see my baby but ti really want to do it on my own i guess.  If things dont pick up then my doc. will induce me, and i will deal with it haha!  

Hows your baby?
