Off to see my midwife today......

Well as most of you know I have been having contractions for the past two days, pretty consistently....and no baby yet!! I am 5cm and almost 100% effaced and I am just getting frustrated with the contractions ALL day then I go to sleep and they disappear for 8 hours, then they come back and start all over again.(they just started up again at 8am. about every 5-7 min. My back hurts and I just want to make sure the baby is okay and see if I am making any more progress. So I am going to see my midwife today and she is going to check me again and then I think we are going to try castor oil. She said she would do this because my body has already begun to start the process, we just want to move it along now. She said it's more than 80% effective in a situation like this, so why not give it a try?? I am up for almost anything! I have been cleaning like a nut, walking, having sex, using my birthing ball...lol...and still nothing!! I wonder if it's because the baby is pretty big?? I don't know. So I will update you all later this afternoon and maybe we will have a baby by the weekend!! =) (I would be so happy!)
