Doc Update

I'm now just over 2 centimeters dilated and 60% effaced. Not much of a difference from last week (1.5 cm and 50% effaced). My doc stripped my membranes. It wasn't too bad, just a bit more uncomfortable than the cervical checks but with cramping afterward. After my appointment, I walked through the waiting room out to my car and felt like the baby was definitely going to fall out. That sensation passed quickly and 6 hours later, I feel no difference whatsoever. My doc says that if I haven't gone into labor on my own by my next appointment (12/5), he'll put me on the induction list. For some reason, I don't think I'll ever go into actual labor on my own. Then again, that may be the infertility creeping in, thinking that my body won't do what it's "supposed" to. I'm totally good with hanging another week. I still like being pregnant. I'm going to miss it!

I'm glad you like being pregnant! I'm sure it is a wonderful feeling! I have no doubt that your body will do what it is supposed to, it's just not time! Good luck, it's all very exciting!

Good Luck! Being a mom is the most wonderful adventure! Giving birth isn't that awful either:)
