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?!

hang in there, honey. i know how frustrating it is at the end. i was 2 days late with stella and it was horrible, so i cant imagine how you must feel.

with stella i never lost my plug. well im sure at some point i did, but i never noticed it. with nathan it started coming out a week before i went into labor. then the rest came out the night before i went into labor.

are you absolutely going through with the induction or are you going to try and wait another week? he has to come out sooner or later, you know? im sure you have tried everything, but i recommend eating lots of spicy food (i hated spicy food but was downing hot and sour soup like mad when i was ready to be done with pregnancy) and eating at outback steakhouse. 2 of the february moms (myself included) went into labor the night we ate at outback.

Outback huh? I am always up for a huge ass steak, yum!

The induction has been scheduled, and though I guess I don't absolutely have to go, I should. We asked the doctor why he only wants us to go a week late, and he said that my cervix is very favorable for induction, and that if I hadn't dilated at all, then they would've let me go another week and just monitored me.
