Discouraged 😭

Rachelle • Boy mom 💙
I had my 38 week appointment today. I've been dilated to 1cm since 36 weeks, but I've been having 20-30 BH contractions a day, and the worst pelvic pain known to mankind. My doctor and his wife do their practice together, and he wasn't there today so I was seen by his wife instead (this was the first time I had met her). She was super sweet, and she went ahead and checked me. 1cm, and only 40% effaced. I feel like this pain and discomfort I've been going through has done NOTHING. I've been walking, taking EPO, squatting, having sex, walking up and down my stairs for five minutes a day, the miles circuit, jumping jacks and so much more trying to get myself to progress and NOTHING. What's the point? I'm so miserable. I just want this baby out of me. 😭 The only new bit of info I got today was that she could feel the babies head, my doctor never mentioned that before. Anybody ever really not progressed, but didn't go overdue?
