It's getting really difficult to not call my midwife to agree to the induction that the OB wanted me to have last week. I'm getting SOOOO discouraged.
Yesterday morning I started losing scads of thick, gloppy mucus and it has continued into this morning. Yesterday the loss was accompanied by contractions and cramping down low like I had never felt before. But by the time I got home from a lovely dinner with friends last night, the contractions petered out as I fell asleep.
Here I am this morning after a semi-okay night's sleep and the pressure has returned down low and the mucus keeps coming but DAMMIT! How long will this go on?! I wouldn't be quite so frustrated if I knew my midwife was going to be around tomorrow, but she told me I "couldn't" go on Sunday because she would be at the Bears game downtown and off duty. I really like her and want her to deliver me! I know the OB she works under would be good as far as OB's go. I know him and he knows me.... but I have never met the other two midwives in the practice.
Small potatoes, I know. "This kid will come when he is ready" just isn't cutting it anymore and I feel so weak because he is ONLY 3 days "overdue"! Obviously, I've got something going on down there.... I am just panicked that it wont happen today and my mind keeps straying toward making a phone call to just go in and let them augment whatever is going on just so I can be sure to have my midwife there.
I feel like I am going to have to choose either induction today or no midwife tomorrow.

I went into labor almost two weeks ago, got to six, had a leak and then had everything seal up, go back down to 4-5, and just contract endlessly. I hope you go sooner than I have. Ha ha ha!
