Well, apparently baby girl is super comfy in there because there are no signs that she's coming out before Monday. I went to my appointment today hoping for some progress but nothing. Still not dilated...doc couldn't even get a finger in to do a membrane sweep.

So, for now the two day induction is still on. I check in Sunday night at 8:00 PM to start the Cervadil and they'll start Pitocin Monday morning. The good news is that my doctor is on call from Monday at 6:30 AM until Tuesday at 4:00 PM so I know I'll have her and not some other doctor in the practice who I haven't met yet.

It's still possible that I could progress and start labor on my own before then but I don't think so and neither does my doctor.

Oh well, at least I know baby girl's birthday and there's an actual date to look forward to.

I feel you! I have had really bad cramping the last few days, & don't know what to think! I really thought...maybe I'm going into labor, and then I get 15,000 different descriptions from people of what labor is or is not. Some say its like strong strong menstrual cramps, others, its not that at all. I don't know!!!!! I hope I'm not going to be one of those women that wait too long and end up having baby Bella at home! Oh no!

Last time I went in, I was almost 1 cm(she told me I could call it 1) dialated, 30% effaced..but that is nothing! And I'm like...but dude I hurt sooo damn bad all the time! This kid WEIGHS A TON!

I really thought today might be the day, but the pain is settling down so I betcha this child will wait til Tuesday to come out. And yeah, its not THAT LONG from now, but when you feel like **** it is an ETERNITY!

I feel ya Sarah...I do. Oh yeah..in case you didn't get my other post on my post....we still haven't decided. WE have two carriers that we like but unfortunately we don't agree upon. Happily, I just got myself a netbook for my college coursework so I wouldnt miss anything just cuz I'm having a baby, so you can always text to my email address and I can call u. Soooo...if we are in the hosp together, we CAN DO THIS! LOL...I sound like Obama's pr person....

But seriously...I am poe'd at my body. I wish I could just KNOW like all these other women do. I just cramp and have the occasion pains(that I think are contractions but who the hell knows!) and I even ate the hell out of some Korean bulgogi...but did baby girl budge? Did anything intensify? NO NO NO!

okay...I took your rant and made it my own....sorry charlie!
