41 weeks pregnant. I can't believe it. This is my second baby and I'm 41 weeks today! I went into labor with my first at 40 weeks 5 days and this one doesn't seem to want to budge.

I was in a ton of pain and had contractions for about an hour last Sunday then everything just stopped! I've been trying everything to get labor going but nothing works. I'm convinced it's just a coincidence if you go into labor after. I've been eating dates and drinking red raspberry leaf tea since about 35 weeks to help get ready. Walking, curb walking, sex, nipple stimulation, miles circuit, spicy foods, you name it (except castor oil because that's extremely dangerous)!

I know this sounds horrible but I just feel defeated at this point. I hate the thought of induction but that might be the route this goes. This pregnancy wasn't planned so I wasn't tracking my ovulation like I did with my first. I keep going back and looking at my <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glow.android.eve">period tracker</a> and such to make sure my dates are accurate for possible conception. They are and he's always measured "on track" with those dates at every appointment. I'm just searching for reasons as to why I haven't gone into labor but 100% understand our bodies and babies know when it's time. I'm just over it and anxious to have my baby in my arms.

I'm getting a non-stress test Monday to make sure baby is still okay but will have to be induced by the end of the week if he hasn't made his arrival. I'm not risking going past 42 weeks since the chances of a stillborn go up. I just want to go into labor already 😭
