I'm 40+5 today. Had contractions all day yesterday and called my doc after they were 5 min apart (1 min each) for almost 2 hours. They had us come in to L&D and we got there around midnight. So exciting!! 2 hours of monitoring later I was sent home. Apparently the contractions aren't strong enough and I'm not dilating any more as of yet. The resident said that my cervix is still very thick (50%) and that it will probably be at least several more days. (which is strange bc my doctor said I was 80% early this week)
