literally, they were circling me. i am 42 weeks next Monday (so 41.4 weeks right now). We have Music Together class on Fridays. So this am in class, the instructor was asking me what I am going to do after Monday.
I was trying my best not to go off but instead look clueless (kind of hard for me but i was trying to prove a point).
I looked at her and said "what do you mean what am I going to do...there isn't much I can do...but I hope he comes before Monday of course." (and big smile).
Then about 5 women surround me and start asking if I won't go to the hospital to get induced. I just said "OMG no I'm not signing up for torture". lol!
Unfortunately, there was a woman who was standing beside me..whom I like a lot though don't really know and she commented "I let them do that to me and it was just horrible". She must have said "it was horrible" at least 5 times.
I felt so badly for her.
But jeez. I know there are medical reasons for induction and thats cool and a decision everyone has to decide for themselves but to be circled and questioned in a kind of...I don't know...."lets what the train wreck induction" manner was just....strange.
Believe me, I'm ready to have my baby. I'm having thoughts going through my head about 42 weeks (the magic number I guess) but I just felt like an injured bird surrounded by these alley cats or something.
And yeh, it doesnt help that I've been having contrax for over 2 weeks and they just all of a sudden stopped yesterday.

Mama.
And I agree with trimestersdoula - hopefully the contractions stopped to give you a break before the main event!
