39week Dr appt.

Well i had my appt, didnt gain any weight, belly measuring 40weeks.  Cervix is still hi and firm:(  OH i did not want to hear those words ughhh.  Did not dialate anymore, im still 2cm.  OM goodness did it hurt when she checked me, almost felt like she was trying to stretch my cervix, i started having some cramps after that but now they are gone.  I am due on the 18th, and of course i asked for a scheduled Induction, so it will be Thursday the 17th at 10am if baby does not come b4 then, which dr thinks she wont.  WoW cant beleive im going to 40 weeks, sheesh.  As i stated in past post i have been very stressed out with everything that has been going on in my life.

I breifly mentioned it some months ago about me and DF and it is offical that we are no longer together, he moved out on the 31st of august and states he will be present for the birth of the baby.  Its such a sad situation bcuz ididnt expect to be a single parent again, my son in 14, had i known this would happen i would not be in this situation.  Now im being hard on myself thinking mayb i shudve been married b4 thinking about kids, I do beleive God will not give you anything you can not handle so i will keep faith and im just glad i have a strong support system.

Aww! It will happen soon enough! And it's good that the baby's head is in engaged....so if you have to get induced, hopefully things will go smoothly!
I'm so sorry about your DF...I can't imagine how you are feeling right now. Be strong! I will pray for you.

Oh yea, dr did say the baby head is engaged, so im hoping the induction goes smooth and the cervix dialates so i dont have to have a c-section.  Ive been getting nothing but phone calls for the last 7 days saying did you have the baby yet, are you at the hospital are you in labor, can i come see the baby?  As if i would not call and tex everyone lol.
