UGHHHHHHH
I'm 39 weeks today, and baby is just sitting soooo very comfortably in there as of yesterday, and what seems like today too. Got a call from doctor yesterday that my appointment was cancelled that day at 10 and asked if I'm having any symptoms that i had questions about, (which I did) so I told them: high blood pressure, black lines in my vision, EXTREMELY bad pressure in my pelvic/rectal area, like to the point where lifting my foot 1 in off the ground is so so so painful, etc. so she said okay well the Dr. on call is in Cesarean right now so head on up to the 3rd floor to L&D; so we can monitor you. So I head there, everything is going well, baby is perfect, my blood pressure seems okay, my pulse is high but nothing to worry about. Doctor comes in 3.5 hours later to check my cervix and says that my cervix is still THICK and I'm not even dilated to a 1. How the hell am I due in a week and I'm still thick and not dilated. Someone give me some advice on how to thin my cervix/help dilate. Keep in mind: I've been walking, using the yoga ball, having sex, stimulating my nipples, tried castor oil. But still, NOTHING.

UPDATE:
So I had a follow up appointment today, and my doctor says that I'm dilated to a 1 and the doctor who checked me didn't know what they were doing. Plus the doctor who did the cervical check really really hurt me, and my doctor doesn't. Anyways I will be induced at 41 weeks if LO doesn't make her appearance before the 23rd, which honestly seems like a lifetime away and I'm just so damn miserable so somebody send me labor vibes or give me some fuckin tricks cause this shit is kicking my ass.
