another doctors appointment
I am so anxious, nervous, frustrated....hmmm...what other words could I use?..
Anyway, no dialating, but I am thinking something is up because my doctor said "you're...hmm...your cervix is still closed" kind of pausing. I haven't gained any weight this week. blood pressure is still good, I am pre-registered at the hospital and The babies clothes are all washed and put up, bags are packed. Now comes the wait...just waiting and waiting..
I'll post again when something does actually happen and no more false alarms. I am really smiling although the post sounds down, I am happy, I want to get the first big van payment out of the way before she gets here anyway. 
Please post the false alarms,too.It makes it more exciting!! The waiting is always the worse part.But..then again..labor is no piece of cake.How do you have your babies;natural,or with the epidural.
By the way,is it ok to ask which hospital you will be in?I'm in Tn ,too,and I thought if you were close by,it would be fun to meet you,if possible.Here's my email addr if you want to share that info.But if you don't feel comfortable doing that,I want be offended at all rlkwlk777@fhtm.us
I know what you're going through. It's hard not to get your hopes up when you have an appointment. Especially when you're cramping a lot, you would think there would be at least a small change.
I swear, with all this cramping, I feel like I'm going into labor at least twice a day! It's frustraiting. My mom says "oh, you'll know when it's real". But, I tell her about my cramping and she says that's how her labors started. She's no help! LOL
I don't know how much truth there is in the whole Full Moon labor thing, but there is a full moon coming up on Sunday!! Maybe we'll both get lucky!!
my future dil is still dilated 1 cm. She is doing really good. Next week will be 40 weeks along, dog said that by the next week, if there are no changes that he will talk about inducing. Good luck to you!!! Just take these extra days to relax...!
Good luck! I hope something happens soon!
In due time. Get it? Ha ha ha.
Sorry, just being corny.
Anyways, I hope something happens soon too. I can't wait to see pictures of your new family. Good luck.

UPDATE:
I am just going to continue to post on this message so I don't take up a bunch of space by posting a new one every week...
Doctor's appointment today, no weight gain, blood pressure still looks good, baby's heartbeat ~ 133. She said my cervix was still fingertip thick...so she says I will go all the way to my due date...Oh well. All I can say is I see lots of sex, walking and spicy foods in my near future! I am not planning on the baby being here then until May 15th I assume the doctor knows what she is talking about. Oh and she did say the baby was dropping but hasn't dropped all the way. So that is positive.
This is so exciting.I hope your feeling well tonight.
It sounds like you know what to do to get yourself in labor but you haven't gone past your due date so what's the rush? LOL..I know ,I know.
Keep on posting.
My water broke early,(a high tear) I didn't want to be induced so I did the castor oil and blue cohosh and lots of stair climbing and had the baby that afternoon.
I'm curious too..do you plan on having a natural.. are you using Bradley?
Do have a doula?
We can all be your doula ..until you're in active labor that is. I can't imagine sitting at the computer ..anyway. Take it easy.
Enjoy the time with your family before everything changes.
Dont do too much. Take care of yourself and that little one. Baby will be here before you know it. It is SO hard waiting out the last few weeks tho I know.
I will say that with my first the doc told me the same thing. I went into labor that afternoon and delivered 2 days later. You will have that baby when she is ready.
I plan on having her natural, I have been doing my breathing (during strong Braxton-Hicks contractions) and focusing on the outcome instead of the present. I am really hoping I don't cave and get the epidural. Also I am hoping I can labor at home instead of being induced and staying in the hospital for 8 hours.
