Went to the doctor this morning, and apparently I have the gestational period of an elephant (how ironically apropos, since I strongly resemble one as well). Dr. says baby's head HAS NOT dropped, cervix HAS NOT thinned, IS NOT dilated, blah, blee, blah, blah, blah, blah.
*sigh*
Looks like we're in for the long haul.....again.

Girl i am so sorry ~ that has got to suck! aren't there things you can try to get the baby to want to come out?? or do they even work? i wouldn't know...
I'm sorry. I feel your pain. I went 8 days past my due date. I was trying everything to get that baby out. Including sitting on one of those huge workout balls and bouncing up and down! That was a site! A friend had told me that it would thin my cervix and I was willing to try anything. :)
my doctor, "There are things you can do to help get things going."
us, "Yes? Please tell us!"
my doctor, "Well, you can have sex. Eat really spicy Chinese food. But listen, this is important...Don't have sex in the Chinese restaurant."

ever tried castor oil? Wait until you are ready to do your own c-section because you are so desperate to evict that kid. Then take a couple big swallows. Read up on this first...it can cause nasty results. But two of my beautiful children arrived within 1-2 days (counting the 32 hours of labor) after taking it.
emily-it DOES suck, but is my MO. I was 2 weeks late with BOTH of the boys. I tried everything with Owen (short of castor oil) and none of it worked.
Kris-I never tried a workout ball..can't see how that would really help, but it sounds fun I guess. :)
Ness-YOu are the only person I've ever known who actually DID the castor oil thing. Ack!! I strongly considered it with Owen, but didn't think that 2 days of diarrhea were worth the outcome. Although after I ended up having a c-section maybe I should've tried it. Maybe this time I'll be desperate enough.....
i'm telling you...they slip right out....
i've heard balsamic vinegar with olive oil does the same thing...might taste better....
