Appointment update

Well i just got back from my 38 week check up.
I am just a little on the discouraged side.  all of these contractions and i am not dialated at all.
I lost 1lb and i am measuring  39 weeks.
They are not worried about the 1lb loss because she is measuring a week ahead.

I am seriously considering going to the drug store to buy some cod liver oil!!

Do you think if you asked they would induce you??  There was a particular doctor that I wanted to deliver me so she is gonna induce me the day she is on call which is a week earlier than my due date.   It might be worth a shot!!  If that doesn't work have lots of sex and spicey foods, ride over bumpy roads......anything worth a try.  I hope little Sarah comes soon.  Keep us updated in the Oct community.

About the only thing i havent tried is the castor oil and the herbs...  and i am seriously considering heading down to the drug store to buy some castor oil!!!  

I know that not being dialated at all doesnt really mean anything, but it is just sooooooooooooo discouraging
