Baby update

Unfortunately, there is not a whole lot to update on. After the little episode that we had when I was at 33 weeks and 3 days, there has not been a whole lot of change. That night, I had dilated to 1 1/2 cm and was 70-80% effaced and he is sitting at a -1 station, which was pretty impressive (for lack of a better term) for being so early. Since then I had been contracting quite regularly and have been pretty uncomfortable since the baby dropped so low so quickly. At my 36 week appointment I was dilated to 2 cm and 80% effaced. I was glad that there was some progress. Then today at my 37 week appointment, I was expecting more change because I have been contracting regularly several times an hour for the last 5 days. I was quite mad to find out that everything is still the same as last week!! grrr!!! What is the point of being so miserable and hurting if no progress is being made?! Needless to say it stinks. The doctor said that next week they will strip my membranes and then at week 39 is my scheduled induction. The doctor actually had the nerve to suggest that I am allowed to go into labor on my own, so maybe I should try that. He was part kidding, he could tell I was ticked off. Anyway, we will keep you posted but for now, nothing new.
