Well, today is the EDD for this thing that I don't think will ever come out... I have my next appointment tomorrow afternoon. Last week I was still sitting at only 2cms... Again, when I asked the doc, she said she would not induce because I've had a section already with my 1st, and my second was a VBAC. Induction, she said, wasn't something she was going to do unless absolutely necessary. She had told me there was not much that could be done. She also told me lots of love is good. Well, we've been going on a lot of walks and walking for pretty much as long as I can manage and at the pace I can handle, and the love has been there, and I'm hoping it will help.
Now I have a few questions that I'm hoping some might be able to answer...
About how long will I sit at 2cms? (Lost my plug nearly a month ago, if that matters) Does love and walking a lot actually help? (I heard it softens the cervix?) Can I break my water with lots of *rough* love and is that a good thing? What are the chances of progressing past 2cm this week from last week? Does the trend usually go towards a 3d child being late or early? (First was 1 day past due and second was 8 days late) Any suggestions on what I can try or shouldn't try as far as getting labour started as 'naturally' as possible? On Saturday, MIL said I had dropped again and quite a bit since Friday, does this help at all?
Right now, we're off to run some errands, and, again, I am going to walk, walk, walk as much as I can. MIL and my aunt keep telling me to just jump up and down. Should I try that? lol I'm willing to try anything... Today is EDD, and I don't think I could handle going a week or more over! I'm going insane here :( Any help or suggestions would be appreciated! Even if the truth hurts, I'm willing to take it to kind of put my mind at ease. What are my options before I pull my hair out from insanity??
