I've been dilated for weeks. Was 4cm and 80% effaced yesterday so my doc did a membrane sweep...and...nothing! Some cramping and back pain but no labor. How can I literally be dilated to the point of active labor and still NOT be in labor?! Apparently my body ***** at this giving birth business. Now we are talking induction around June 9th if baby doesn't show... At this point I just wish I was in enough pain to go to l&d and have a baby! I never thought I would wish to be in pain lol
