I went to see my midwife yesterday thinking oh this is my 39th week check up so she’s finally gonna tell me what’s the damned deal down there. And to my surprise, she just asked how I was doing and was ready to send me on my way. I’m like uuuuuuuuum 👀 are u gonna check what’s going on and she replied with there’s no point.

She told me that in all her years of doing this, it’s really up to baby. She’s had a lady who was 4cm and she saw the bag bulging like her water was about to burst, thought it would be at any moment, then come back for the next week check up and the lady was still wobbling miserably. Then another patient who hadn’t even lost plug and come in and thought they had a bit of time and ended up delivering the next day.

All this to say, given her plenty years and stories of helping deliver babies, baby’s gonna come when baby’s ready. Don’t be worried so much about being at the same dilation for however long. We are as prepared as we’re gonna be and the rest should fall into place the way it does. I know it sucks because I’m anxious right along with ya, but we’ve got this! Stay positive and again! Good luck mamas 😘🖤

We’re awesome 🤗😁
