Anyone else at this point? What's your plan? How are you coping?
So I'll be 42 weeks on Monday & am still waiting it out. Thank goodness, my MWs will let me go until 42w6d. We could do a lot in 8 days right? At least I'm 90% effaced, although not very dilated (MW sayd 1+cm, U/S said 3cm).
I honestly cannot believe that I am still PG. Sometimes I think it's just the way things are (gotta believe that Mother Nature has it right) & then other times I wonder if there's something wrong with me. It took me 2 yrs to get PG & now I can't get un-PG. WTF!? I had my membranes swept today, started on some herbs & will try Castor Oil on Monday, not to mention all the massage & acupuncture. I keep hoping that today's membrane sweep will do something.
I've had quite backache tonight & a lot of cervical pressure. I've had so many false alarms that I can't get too excited though.
I think I can maintain my sanity, but it may mean not answering the phone until after I give birth.

I also had this nagging feeling that I was doing something to prevent myself from going into labor. But I guess it just wasn't time. I really wish I could have gone into labor naturally, but I had chosen a hospital birth and I understand that they have to set limits. I am not sure what I will do next time. Anyway, there seemed to be nothing that would put me into labor short of alot of pit. I seemed totally ready for labor, I was partially dialated/effaced and my cervix was really soft. I had days and days of prodromal labor. Sometimes when I was having pretty consistent strong contractions dh and I would dtd and that would actually *kill* the contractions!
