Nothing!
Nothing...that is exactly what is going on with my progression to labor! Today I had my 38 wk appt. It was not a very good appt. 1st my appt. was scheduled for 2:15, so that is when I got there. I didn't even get to see the Dr. until 3:50!! They said they were running behind...uh...yeah I would say so! Then when she finally checked me she said there was no change from last time. Still just dilated a figertip :( Not to mention while she was examing me she told me I have a very small pelvis! I hope that doesn't completely complicate child birth! Needless to say I'm very disappointed, I know I shouldn't be, but I am. I don't know why I am starting to feel so upset about my lack of progress? I think my pregnancy hormones may be catching up with me! I feel like this is the first time during my whole pregnancy that I am being kind of moody, and I don't like it :( I think I will go take a shower and hope to wash this day away and hope tomorrow is better :) Sorry for the vent session.

Even if you aren't making any progress, you could still go into labor. My first pregnancy I was the same for the last 4 weeks and I went into labor on time so don't be too discouraged. And that hot shower sounds like a good idea. I'll have to go take one too.
I asked Dad how things went with your appt. & he didn't really say much...so I'm glad to hear what happened. I KNOW how discouraging it is when NOTHING is happening...but that can all change any minute!!! I don't like hearing about the small pelvis...nobodies mentioned that before have they??? Thanks for helping with Lannie last night...I was very tired!! Hang in there!!
Love, Mom
I'm sorry to say this Christin, but the rest of your pregnancy is pretty much gonna suck. :) Just enjoy every second you have left to yourself. I'm excited to see you guys this summer.
the end is miserable. actually I have never been past 38 weeks. sorry! I think being miserable is mother natures way of getting you ready for labor, you are SO ready for the baby to come out you don't care what happens. just think, he'll be here in a week or 2 and you'll have him for the rest of his life. enjoy the last moments in life when it is just you and your hubby.
Take a nice bath, eat chocolate, and make Tony paint your toenails. You'll feel better. And hang in there--the baby WILL come out. Just on his own timeline. The more relaxed you are, the easier these last few weeks will be. I know that's so much easier said than done. Get in that bathtub and get soaking!
I know how discouraging that is!!! I was only dilated to a one like the last four weeks of pregnancy even the day before I went into labor. And when I was having contractions and went to the hospital I still wasn't dilating and they sent me home! 7 hours later I went back and I was a 6. So I know you don't want to hear it but it will happen and when it does you won't believe that its actually happening. Good luck I can't wait for your little guy to get here!
I cannot believe it!! I hope for your sake that the baby comes soon!
With both of my pregnancies I didn't dialate beyond a 1 til I was in the hospital in labor. I have a friend that is petite and little like you, and she just delivered a 9 lb baby no problem, so I wouldn't worry too much. Don't be discouraged!
