Big shocker, I'm still here

[district12ravenclaw]

Well ladies, I am still here, six days late! I can't even express how frustrated I am that nothing is happening right now. I thought I lost all of my mucous plug yesterday, but I've been noticing a lot today. For those of you who lost yours, how long was it before you went into labor? I'm reaching for anything at this point because I'm really wanting to avoid the induction. I feel like my body is failing me, which sucks because it really isn't. I'm dilating, I'm effacing, and I'm losing my mucous plug. What's the hold up?!

Listen to what your body is telling you. You can always cancel the induction. I should know, I canceled 2 of mine. :D Mine was for a medical reason (PIH) which was the only reason I went through with it, because I was worried about something happening to the baby if my bp kept going/staying up. Otherwise I would have felt comfortable just letting him come on his own.

If the doc questions it, tell them that it didn't feel right to you to have medical intervention at this point as you've had a stellar pregnancy and no complications of any sort. It's your body and your baby and only you (and Steve) should have a say in the important decisions as long as everything else (vitals, etc) looks ok.

I'm wondering if I should give it another day or two. I guess I'll see how tomorrow goes.
