Disappointed

I'm 38 weeks & i had my weekly appointment today. When i got there my ob said if my cervix is open she will do a membrane sweep to get things going. She then checked & said I'm closed :( i can't believe after all the contractions I've been having in the past week, that I haven't made any progress. I just went home & cried. I am beyond uncomfortable, i have a feeling I'm going to be over due.

@Abigailsmamma omg i almost wanted to go off on him when he told me that. It's easy for them to say! I know he didn't mean anything by it but man was i heated at the moment. I've tried walking & having sex. Apparently nothing is working!

I'm so sorry. I'm getting stressed out about my cervix too. I don't want to go over due at all. It's so hot outside and it seems like even if you have ac on you can't cool off.

I've been the same, tons of contractions and I'm hardly dilated at all I'm 38+4, it's so frustrating...
And as for your bf/husband saying it'll happen when she's ready... Mine says that too and I seriously want to punch him every time. I'm like NO YOU DON"T UNDERSTAND!!

I know how u feel well kinda lol I'm only 36 weeks and we went to the doctors 2 days ago and she checked me and I'm not even 1 cm dilated but I'm 80% thinned out I was so upset cuz after having contractions everyday for 2 weeks I thought I would be more dilated but I'm not :/ the baby is ready to come he is very low and ready to be here but my cervix isn't opening yet :( it's almost heartbreaking knowing u have to wait longer than u wanted to see ur baby!

: (  I'm sorry mama. But I am always told that baby will come when baby is ready. I can't even imagine how uncomfortable you are at 38w, I'm only approaching 33w and I am getting uncomfortable.
