Contractions

Hard contractions this morning, feeling a little annoyed and ready to give up being hopeful about them. But I wont of coarse! At least I know that if I don't have a baby by my next Dr apt on Tues, they promised to let me be induced next week. So maybe the 10th or 11th of November. Either way, I'm happy to know that by next weekend I'll have a little infant in my arms to hold.

Since Last Dr Visit...

I have been having very painful and sharp contractions that are nothing more than sporadic. They can't be timed properly because they can't seem to make up their mind on what they want to do! Well, last night I was up a great deal of the night because of them. They were coming 10 then 20 then 15 then 8 then back to 15 minutes apart for about 4 hours. They would stop for two hours and then start up again with the same annoying patters. UGH! I wish my body would decide whether or not we are going to actually have a baby! I called into the Dr office to let them know what's been happening and they went ahead and made room for me to go in to get checked. I am now at 4cm, but because the contractions aren't 10 minutes apart consistently for and hour or more they wont submit me to the hospital (and put me out of my misery). It just might be another long night.

38 week visit

Went in, not really wanting to be at the Dr office because I felt like there wouldn't be any progress. Things have been happening, but rather slowly and miserably, not to mention painfully too. I am now dilated to 3cm and Dr still concerned about him coming fast. He also went ahead and stripped my membranes to get my cervix dilated quicker and to hopefully push for starting labor within 24 hours.
