STILL waiting!

My doctor checked me on Thursday and I was STILL 3cm! This is just crazy!! So he stripped my membranes hoping to get something moving for me.

On Saturday evening I started having contractions, but they were 7-9 minutes apart. I took a shower and headed off to bed hoping to get some sleep before the tough ones kicked in. Of course I really didn't sleep, I kept watching the clock to time the contractions. By 2am they were about 5-6 minutes apart but still weren't very strong. I think I dozed off for a little while because next thing I knew it was 3am and the contractions were weaker and slowing down quite a bit. :-(

So, here I am - almost 3 weeks since I was told that I was 3cm dilated and still no baby for M&M! I know they are getting sooo anxious. I wish I had some control over this. I've tried having chats with Baby M to convince her to come out but she doesn't want to listen.

My biggest concern at this point is that my OB told me from the beginning that he wouldn't let me go past my due date because I'm VBACing. So I know at my appointment tomorrow he is going to try and talk me into having my water broken. I'm going to see if he'll make a deal with me - strip my membranes again and give me the weekend. If I don't go into labor on my own then I'll agree to check into the hospital on Monday to have my water broken. Oy, I wish this little girl would just decide to come on her own!!
