Pregnancy Info HOME

Hey Daniella, My appt was not good. Still no dilation. She really didn't say about effacement. She scheduled me to come back next Thursday (the 11th) which is one day after my due date. I don't know why she did that??? She said she wouldn't let me go a week over my due date so that's good to know. At least I know I will have her by the 17th. I'm really depressed about this. Why can't I dilate????? It's so frustrating. I just wanted to cry on the way home yesterday. But anyways, I'm not sure where Crossplains is. I live near a Crossroads, TN. I work with a guy that's from Chicago so that's cool. I been through there once when I was like 9 years old. It was huge! But then again I from a small town. Well, let me know how your next appt goes... or when the baby goes????? LOL. You'll probably get there before me. It was good to hear from you! Take care... and I'll continue to walk, walk, walk. Oh, and I'm having second thoughts about the castor oil. I really don't want to do it, so maybe I won't. But what if it works? AIGH! Let me stop. Ok, I'll talk to you later girl! :)

Hey Rachel- The membrane sweep worked!! I gave birth May 5th (cinco de mayo). It was 3 days after the sweep. I had a slight leak started about 6am. I didn't think anything of it, but kept an eye on it. Well, at about 9pm, I finally called L&D because it started to be more v____al fluid. They had me come in and sure enough my waterbroke. He was 7lbs. 8oz. and 20 in. long. Had a head full of blonde hair. lol. I wasn't even having contractions or anything. It was weird!! I was still at 4cm so they gave me a little pitocin and I started contracting on my own. Just needed a little jump start. BUT, don't worry!!!! You may not be dilated right now and then all of a sudden dilate real fast... Probably better that way, then to be like me and stay 3-4 cm for 4 weeks. You just never know!! My best advice is S_x, s_x s_x!!! it really helps soften the cervix. :)

Hey, yeah I read on another one of your posts that you had delivered on May 5th. Congratulations! Wow, I wish mine would come on! LOL! So your labor was pretty good overall? I had a really weird feeling that you were going to deliver this weekend. That's so cool. Anyways, I go back to the doctor on the 11th (and I'm due on the 10th) so maybe she'll let me know something. Wish me luck.
