due in 4 days....want to cry

I had a check up today and still only 1cm. They say I have a small cervix and due to this they can't do anything to induce until I am 41weeks. I want to cry I am so over this. Now they promise come hell or high water she will be here by next weekend. But now I have to get bi-weekly ultrasound to check the fluid level and another exam next week. Then finally schedule the induce date. I am a FTM to my 2 step kids and have no enegery every part of my body hurts this is going to be another week from hell....

They did mention the sweep but said again with a "small cervix" like mine they won't do anything until 41weeks. I have been 1cm for a week. So frustrating. Almost there n bam more waiting. I was great this whole pregnancy until a few weeks ago.....thanks ladies

It's one of the hardest kinds of waiting!! But you can be 1cm when you wake up and be getting ready to meet your baby later that day. It is soooooooo hard to wait in the misery of being so pregnant - get yourself a treat or a haircut or something pampering to take your mind off it!

I know with my first they did a membrane sweep. They say that if it takes labor will start within 24 hours, if it doesn't they can do another one. Baby will come when ready. I had 3 done and labor started an hour after the appointment. I dont know if your doctor will do one but they did the first and I was only 1 cm along.
