I had a NST today and it turned out fine. But....... after alot of personal reflection and talking to my OB, I have come to the realization that this isn't going to happen on it's own. The level of stress in my life is outrageous and I am convinced that is why this baby is not here yet. I have tried everything I can think of, accupreassure, black coshosh, peppermint oil, clary sage. Sex, nipple stim, name it I have tried it, had my membranes stripped. I haven't had a contrax in 2 days. I did a whole bunch of castor oil the other day and all I got was a painful bum 
I'm ok with this though, I think God is telling me he has different plans, and there is some big reason why I have to go in.
I'm having a foley induction, no pit. Heplock and my OB told L&S not to order c/s labs.
He can not get out of the monitoring though, but I plan on taking the leads off when no nurses are around.
Right now I have about 1/2 a brain, my kids are helping me pack a bag so I can go in.
I got misty eyed earlier, mostly when my OB was apologizing over and over, but I told him it's ok. I knew going into this pregnancy that my chances of an HB were small. Better luck next time.

It can still be a beautiful birth. 
Just go pee often to get out of the monitoring, lol. Taking the leads off won't really help as they have a way of monitoring you outside the room in most cases and they'll know. The cords are generally fairly long though, you can still use a birthing ball and a rocking chair and squat by the bed etc. Let us know!
