Tinkerbells, we had our 40 week appointment today. I had not-so-secret hopes that she would check me and immediately rush me over to delivery because I was one of those women who doesn't realize she's in labour. No such luck, although I have "progressed" since the last visit - I'm now 3cm dilated and 90% effaced, which explains why it feels as if the baby is going to bust right through my cervix every time I walk. The problem is that even though I have several hours of contractions/cramps a day, they don't last or get more intense. So we are still in the waiting game, which is stressing our Virgoness to the max! NX almost had a breakdown in the waiting room, and I pretty much had one last night. This business is mad stressful! Oh well - what can we do? NOTHING! They'll start inducing if I'm back next week, although the midwife says she'll be surprised if I don't go before then. Hope she's right!
