Help!

Im so frustrated. Im 40 weeks 1 day and im not having any signs that hes coming. I had a membrane sweep on monday which caused me to loose my mucus plug but thats it. Im concerned because if he hasnt come by next tue they want to induce me n i really dnt want to be induced. Weve had sex, gone for walks, i bounce on my ball and have eaten so much pinapple and still nothing. What do i do?

I am nervous too. I almost hope the hospital is full so they have to put off inducing me, but then I think about how uncomfortable I am and how much I want my baby here. Good luck to you!

Thanks ladies, nice to know I'm not alone. Im super nervous about the pictocin I've heard the contractions  are far more intense and if he's still not ready labour could take ages. Heres hoping our little angels come on there own before we get to that. Trying to not get disheartened by it all

I am there with you. I have tried everything but he doesn't want to come even though I am dialated to 4 cm, 70% effaced and I lost my mucus plug.  40 weeks tomorrow. My doctor is going to break my water on Thursday and she says it should put me in labor but I am nervous they will still have to give me pitocin.

I know your feelings completely. We have to trust our bodies and our babies. I have tried everything and I am 39 weeks and 5 days and there is zero signs my son is ready to join the world. My family is constantly harassing me about if I'm in labor, I'm cramping so much and sore, and I'm at my wits end. We won't be pregnant forever, even though it feels like we will be. Just remember you're not alone. It will happen.
