Q: Disappointed

Ah, I just want to scream today....or cry! Sad
I was hoping the contractions the other night would've done more than they did, but no.

I'm now dilated to 1cm from a fingertip dilated. Sad
And my doctor said she didn't want to strip my membranes because she didn't want to encourage me to go while she's out of town.

I'm so ready to be over! I have 10 days till my due date, but I feel like he's never going to come.

I can't believe I listened to my mom and thought I was going to go early. Confused I'm just bummed out and I feel sick to my stomach so that doesn't help my mood.

On a more positive note, my platelet count has went from 67 last week to 88 today. Smile

Sorry girls, had to vent! Leave some comments to cheer me up! Very Happy

I'm sorry. I have never been in your position before, though I'm sure when the time is near I will be as anxious as you are! Hang in there. Your beautiful baby will be here so soon, and when the time comes, it will just make the wait that much better. :]

Suzy, she's gone until Dec 3rd. Sad

I hope he comes before next week even if she's out of town. I don't want to go overdue and here "I told you so" from my mil (what a witch!)

I met the doctor that will deliver me if I have him before she gets back and he seemed really nice so I'm not worried about that.

I just want to have him while I'm off of school this break. Sad

Most mothers go past their EDD's. I was induced the day after my due date and it took 28 hours for her to decide to come. If I hadn't been induced she would have stayed in another week EASY.

I know how hard these last weeks are Sad I'm so sorry!

I was 2 days early with my daughter; there's still a chance you could go early!!! Enjoy the last few days that you have to yourself; once baby is here you won't have to much free time for awhile!!! Very Happy
