Because obviously my crunchy card is of no use to me.
Nothing is happening. Okay, fine. I'm still four days out from my edd. Yes, I know it's all an estimate because the BABY will know when it's 'done'.
Except that I'm having a hospital birth.
But shouldn't you tell them how it should be? Shouldn't you stand up for letting your baby bake as long as need be?
Certainly. Yes. Of course.
But you're not going to?
Induction talk is starting up. No, I'll wait until after 41 weeks. But talk is seeming to get closer to the 27th. Or thereabouts. More talk will be had at my next visit -- at 41 weeks.
So all this talk about not wanting to be induced and you're caving?
I guess it looks that way. So much for being voted 'least likely to be induced'. And all my talk for ... gee whiz, all these months ... about how much I didn't want to be induced. And guess what... nothing else seems to be moving so it will probably happen.
But the 27th is still 13 days away, right?
Well, depending on when you're reading this, yeah, it is. So labor, BRING IT ON, I say. But nothing seems to be happening. At all. No 'signs', no symptoms. No abnormal mucus. No contractions (wait, maybe *one* ... and yeah, like that ONE did a whole heck of a lot). No nothing. Just a hiccuping baby. That doesn't seem to want to come out.
You sure seem glum about it all.
Well, yeah. I am. This isn't the ideal situation. Yes, yes, a lot can happen in these next few days, and I really am hoping that something does happen. Unfortunately, if history is any indication of what is to come... well, I feel great. Sure, my pelvis aches a bit (especially if I sleep wrong), I can't sleep much, I cry a lot because my hormones seem totally off-kilter right now, my balance isn't exactly what it used to be, I can't kick stuff, and I'm wearing different clothes than 'normal'... but really, life is simply moving on and I feel like nothing is happening. If I could 'will' it to happen, it would have happened by now.
Why the impatience? There are still quite a few days until a possible induction. Why are you so resigned to the 'fact' that it's going to happen that way?
I'm not sure. It's one of those days? And I feel likeI have to get it out here. Because I can't post more until I let it out. I feel like it's some big secret I've been keeping (for like, two whole days). This isn't the place to come on and say, "hey, I think I"ll be induced". Especially for a hospital birth on top of everything. No 'born at home' for this babe. No, "all natural and proud" with this babe. No legit medical reason for doing so, even. But I don't think I want to resist. And I guess I thought it should be all out there. Because otherwise I feel like I'm not being honest with you all. So... now you know. I'm not as crunchy as I want to be.
...
Do you interview yourself often?
Hm... don't think I've ever done it before, actually.
Isn't it kind of creepy?
Probably.
Um... maybe you should head for bed?
Not going to happen anytime soon for two reasons: 1) pizza and 2) hormones.... as in, mine are just messing with my emotions and I'm completely and totally needy right now and not getting anything for it... so, to avoid getting more ticked off I'll just stay down here for a while.
Is this a post you'll regret in the morning?
Probably. But that's okay. Hopefully somebody will get a chuckle out of my ramblings.
Well, thank you for your time.
Thank *you* as well ;)
