Back from the doctors

[Kim1989]

so i just got back from the doctors. im 38 + weeks. and the doctor did an internal exam. the babys head is down. BUT IM NOT DIALATED! this just adds to my frustration of feeling like im going to be pregnant forever. why am i not dialated. its soo frustrating. they did say the babys head is down. so thats good. but i was really really hoping to hear i was dialated

I know it is frustrating!!! One thing people always told me was, "You're about to POP!" Gee, thanks for making me feel really fat and ugly, you know?! People can be very insensitive.

*HUGS* Baby will be here before you know it!

not to mention my babys father is flying in from cali tomorrow and will only be here till the 13th of march. so if i go like over my due date. he will have less time with the baby. adn it took a month for the marines to give him the ok to come home. and who knows when he will be able to come back again

wow. i kno it can happen its just so frustrating to feel like youve been pregnant forever. to make me feel worse i went to vist my friends at school on monday. i finished my credits back in december so i havent seen them since then. and EVERYONe was like "your still pregnant?" its like yes.! just to add to my frustration. i was just hoping to hear i was at least 1 cm or something. so it is possible to not be dialated yet and not have to go over the due date. it just scarres me that im not dialated. and i really really dont want to go over my due date

You could very well be like me...I don't start to dialate until right when I'm going into labor.  and then it's like boom, boom , boom and there's a baby. I've gone from 1 to 10 in less than 6 hours so...don't get frusterated.  It could still happen anytime now.

It's okay! Some women can be dilated for weeks and others can not be dilated and BOOM! They're in labor. EVERY PREGNANCY IS DIFFERENT!
