Went to my Dr this morning and found out that I am no more dilated or effaced since last Friday when I saw her last... I have gained 2 more pounds though!!! I am officially PAST my due date and she said she was surprised I hadn't gone into labor since there were two girls she also saw last Friday who were dilated and effaced as much as I was that have both had their babies!! Not this girl though!!
What kills me is that I have done EVERYTHING possible to induce labor since last Friday from Pedicures to walking up and down stairs, even cleaning my carpets, eating THE pizza from Trio, even nipple stimulation and everything else under the sun (other than the castrol oil... not so sure, even if I was beyond desperate, that I would attempt that... kudos to the crazy women who do!!!) to induce labor and they have all proved futile!! And not only did they not induce labor but they didn't even dilate or efface me any more that I was 6 days ago!! Fantastic!! So to all you ladies who are prego, good luck with the home remedies to get you going since I was not so lucky!!!
I must have just made life inside my belly too comfortable or something and he doesn't want to come out! He still thinks he has the room to move around (not just kick but full on MOVE) and even surprised my doctor this morning with how active he still is - that's my boy, always stretching his limits (and his mom's!!!). Sometimes I wonder if I even want him to come out at all since I have a sneaking suspicion he is already going to be a handful!!!
I will be induced on June 2nd though if he hasn't made his appearance before then but I did just learn that my doctor will be out of town this weekend (of course!!) so hopefully he doesn't decide anytime from Saturday to Monday afternoon is a good time to come, otherwise she will miss the whole thing!! We even tried talking her into Inducing me today but with my progress so far I was only putting up a "7" on some Bishop Scale thing and in order to have a voluntary induction I have to at least score a "10"... James asked if it were possible to earn extra credit points but unfortunately there is no getting around it!!!
Talk about the LONGEST month of my life!!! Wish me luck!!

I got desperate enough before Lucy to try the castor oil trick. Didnt' work. Just made me sick.
Sounds like you've got a rugby player in there! Can't wait to meet him in a few weeks!
Oh I totally know what you are going thru! Hang in there! He will be worth the wait! Good luck!
Don't worry, if the Dr. is out of town this weekend he will definitely choose to come then. Now you can just chill out now that you have a time table, after all babies have never been known to arrive conveniently....just figure the WORST time and there you are!
I feel your pain. I was a week past my due date with Judd. I tried everything too, even the pizza from Trio. haha! Good luck, hang in there and enjoy your rest. I'm feeling pretty anxious myself. I have 2 more weeks to go!!
Ah, I've been thinking about you ever since the rugby game the other day. I hope for you, that he decides to come asap! Plus we really wanna meet him :) If I find out any other "remedies" for inducing I'll be sure to let you know! haha. Good luck!!! The good news is you're almost there!!!!!
hang in there! it's so hard when you're so uncomfortable. i'm sure you're sick of hearing this, and it's not really possible anyways, but try to get some rest while you can!
