Needing some encouragement.

So here I sit at 40 weeks. No sign of bubs yet. Dialated to a 3 and effaced at 50 percent. All my docs kept daying he would come early lol. Guess he had other plans! Just feeling uncomfy and in a bit of pain! Baby has dropped so he's right on my pelvis. Back hurts. Awake the whole night with contractions that stopped this morning. Just ready to meet this little one! Estimating a long baby at around 8 pounds now. Already had membranes stripped once, getting them redone on monday!

I am 40 and 1. Had my membranes stripped yesterday. Hoping he will show up today. Might go climb a mountain trail. Waiting is exhsusting. Hoping for a natural birth. One way or another, our sons will arrive!
