Well, there has been NO PROGRESS over the last five weeks. Still only one cm dilated, 70% effaced.
I have an appt for an NST and BPP next Tuesday (41 weeks) and doc said if the baby looks fine on those, he has no problem going to 42 weeks.
I did start crying, but I waited until I left the office. :-(
Re: Doc appt update
Oh, Danielle!! I can only imagine how frustrated you are!! Is there anything you can do in the next 1-2 weeks to take your mind off of it all? Is there any last minute stuff you want or need to do before the baby comes?
DH was 10 days late...his poor mother!!

I'm sorry! I know it's so hard to hear right now, but it is perfectly normal to be pregnant at 42 weeks.
Have you invested in red raspberry leaf tea? what about eating some pineapple each day? Do you want me to send my bottle of evening primerose oil? otherwise, you can easily get it at drugstores - bedbath&beyond is where i got mine. Don't kill yourself with lots of walks though - you want to be rested up for your labor and delivery. Think of it as preparing for a marathon! Its hard work!
hugs!!!
I've tried pineapple, spicy foods, foot massages, walking, sitting on an exercise ball every day....none of those are working.
I will get the tea and primrose oil now. And I need to convince DH that it is impertive that we have sex immediately (he is freaked out because he was with me at an internal when the doc said he could feel the baby's head with his fingers....)
LMAO DH isn't freaked out about sex, but I am. I always tell him to be careful so he doesn't poke her in the head. hehe

7/24/2011- herbal tea regime = surprise BFP
Tell DH that some people need to be poked a little to move along? Seriously though, she can't stay in there forever. They won't induce sooner?
He won't induce unelss there's a problem - because if the induction doesn't work, it's an automatic c-section. So, as long as she stays healthy in there, he is fine with waiting.....
Well, it's good news that she is looking happy and healthy in there, but so disappointing that the waiting continues. I don't know how you are doing it - I'm so antsy and I'm 4 weeks behind you!
I hope she decides to make an appearance soon!
Just let DH know, that if he doesn't have sex NOW, it's likely to be a few months before you offer again ..
I know!! I told him that and he said "that's ok, I'll wait." What a stinker!
