Needing some support and a calm down
I'm supposed to be due July 4th. Surprise surprise. He's measuring one month ahead. He's also got such a huge head my doc wanted to do a c section. Well I've already had one big headed baby so I said I wanted to try vaginal again. Well she's fine with that but only if I can bring myself into labor. Well last Thursday I've started a very slow labor which isn't progressing because my big head can't properly engage so I have to figure out how to dilate myself without stressing or hurting either of us. The doc won't intervene because my water is in tact and he's not under stress. He's measuring a full 36 weeks with multiple growth scans using multiple different body measurements (besides his big head), and my fundul measurements all saying we're 36 weeks. What can I do to get myself dilating (again without hurting either of us)? This is 5 days of having regular contractions for 4-8 hours straight with 2-4 hour breaks before they restart. He might still be enjoying himself with good kicks and a healthy heartbeat, but I can barely get any sleep, eating is a no whenever I'm back in contractions. Plus I have a 6 year old who can't live with how irritable I am and I'm sweating like a pig no matter what I do.
