I went to the doctor today, all excited. After my four hours of contractions on Saturday night, losing my mucous plug, and spotting today, I was bound to have made some progress. Plus, I was excited to get the details of my induction. Would it be Thursday or Friday? Morning or afternoon? Squeeeee!!!
Um, yeah. Total buzzkill in the stirrups.
No progress. Zip. Zero. Nada. Still at a 3.
He stretched me to a 4, but explained I'd probably go backwards a little.
That wasn't enough, though. When I asked about my induction date, I got the fabulous news that because I won't be technically 39 weeks till Saturday, I can't be induced until....
....wait for it....
Monday.
Effing Monday.
So now the plan is to hope for contractions that come between 5-7 minutes and if they make their appearance, rush to the hospital and ahem...don't downplay the pain I'm in, if you know what I mean.
And if they don't come?
Go back to get restretched (Yippee.) on Thursday and hope that the third time's a charm.
Oh, and moms in the parent drop-off lane were literally laughing and pointing at me during drop-off duty today.
Laughing. And pointing. You read that right.
Whatever.
Namas-freakin-te.

39 weeks!! Just think of how healthy that little baby is ...all worth it! I'm sure time is ticking right now...
I think he's coming tomorrow. Just because he's super cool like that, lol.
Hope that baby boy of yours makes an appearane soon!
Jump up and down lot, wal for a mile with one foot on the curb and one in the guttar, go hiking... these are all things I did to induce labor. My son was born 2.5 weeks early so something must have worked. Good luck, and I am still expecting your happy news any moment. :)
Hang in there. You're so close. At least your doctor is considering inducing you are 39 weeks. My doctor said absolutely not until I was technically overdue. So guess who was still pregnant (and a big zero) at 41 weeks?
He'll be here soon.
Uh...I will CUT a bitch. NO ONE laughs at my Gina.
Hmph!
Praying for you today!
I ditto lessons sentiments.....nobody laughs and points at our Gina!
I can't believe moms who have obviously been pregnant before were actually LAUGHING at you. That's terrible. You should point at them and laugh and then walk away. They'll spend HOURS trying to figure out what that was all about.
Sorry you're feeling uncomfortable and frustrated. Wish I could help!
Oh sweetie, they weren't laughing AT you, they were laughing WITH you (on the inside.) Pretend. :D Do I dare even ask what stretching is? I mean, are they man handling your vajayjay and pulling it apart? :D
xoxo
Henry cooked for extra long...and came out with some KILLER eyelashes...lame consolation at this point? Eh, I tried.
Gina, I know I tell you this all the time, but YOU CRACK ME UP!!! I laugh almost every time I read your posts.
Monday is so close, sweet girl! You'll make it!
I love reading your posts, not that I love that you are in pain or discomfort! haha. You are so close, so keep your pretty head high!
I also have to mention that the question above about man handling your who-ha has CRACKED me up! hahaha.
Tell those Mama's to stick it where the sun doesn't shine because you are ten times hotter then they will ever be! =)
I am getting pretty impatient myself. Do you think it might help if I came over there and stretched you out myself? Maybe add in a little nipple tweak for fun?
Time out! I've been learning lots of new things what with the entire world being pregnant and all here recently. I feel like I know a lot about being preggo these days, but what in the hell is stretching and why does it make my vagina hurt?
I have been reading your blog for a few weeks now and I have to say, I really dig you. Just the fact that amidst all you are going through right now, your attitude is amazing! And the Namas-freakin-te...awesomeness, I will use this, for sure! I hope that by the time you read this, you will be holding that babe...and enjoying your new family! Namaste! :O
