If I hear this statement (or any version of it) again there is a good chance my head will explode! The last couple of days have been rather miserable (backaches, contractions, an overall feeling of yuckiness) and hearing others tell me to relax and let him come when he is ready is easily the most irritating thing for a SUPER pregnant woman to hear. I am well aware that he will come in time and that there really isn't anything I can do to speed it up - but I don't need you to rub it in!
::Takes a deep breath::
My at home labor induction techniques have been a massive FAIL! My doctor had a good laugh at my expense yesterday when I told her that I had eaten two entire fresh pineapples in 48 hours. Apparently this is not a technique recognized by the medical community......and it didn't work. Walking non-stop has made the baby drop considerably more, but has not led to more dilation or effacement. I even tried a glass of wine with dinner last night....NADA. I officially give up! I will have to accept that I really do have NO control in this situation and that Dominic is officially the boss of me :)
My appointment yesterday was a huge disappointment as there has been absolutely no progress made in the last week.....make that 2 weeks. The good news is that my induction has been scheduled for June 7th at 7am - although I hope I am not still pregnant on June 7th! Maybe just knowing that his eviction notice is on the way will get this baby moving a little faster.
In other news, it turns out my due date has been off all along. It is only off by 1 day, so it doesn't matter much....but I am actually due June 3rd. They have been jipping me a day this whole time!
I feel it appropriate to mention how wonderful my husband has been over the last week or so of pure misery....well, the whole pregnancy for that matter. He has been so supportive....he takes me for long walks, lends a patient, sympathetic ear when I am cranky and tries his best to make sure I am as comfortable as I possibly can be. I honestly don't know what I would do with out him.
The countdown officially begins with only 10 days remaining until my due date. I have decided to make a conscious effort to relax and enjoy the next 10 days (or less hopefully) before my little one makes his grand entrance.
