Feeling incredibly sad... had my 39 week check-up today (I am 39 weeks and 5 days) and my doctor basically said the doctor who checked me last week didn't give me accurate details (my original doctor was out for delivery during my appointment last week so I had to see a different male doctor).. last week the male doctor claimed I was 2.5 cm dilated and 90% effaced, he even told me that I would most likely go into labor any day (I know they can't determine that, but I couldn't help but get my hopes up)... well today my usual doctor said that I'm 3 cm dilated and only 70% effaced... I'm due on Thursday and my doctor wants to check me again on Monday if I don't go into labor by then.. She also said we can talk induction on Monday if I have made some progression... I just can't help but feel helpless and like my baby boy doesn't want to come out!! 😔 My hubby and I are so ready to meet him, not to mention how uncomfortable I am on a daily basis, but he just doesn't want to come out and it's making me sad!!
I walked around, worked out, did zumba, even went jogging at 6 cm and completely effaced for 3 days before I actually had my baby. It took relaxing to finally do it for me. I know that's tough to do so close to baby time but try to take your mind off of things
@jessesgirl919, i was only 1 1/2 cm dilated when my water broke... so don't count yourself out
