40 weeks today, and I do not see any signs of labor coming any time soon!! Desperate!!
I am 40 weeks today, had an appointment on Friday where the dr said I was 3 cm dilated and 70 effaced. My mucus plug starting coming out on Friday after her checking on me. I passed on the membrane sweep, but now I am so anxious and desperate, I feel like I should've done it. Next appointment is Wednesday, and I am hoping she comes on her own before the appointment, but I have lost hope because I have not felt any Braxton hicks or any type of pain beside of down there when I get up. I have been feeling like an emotional roller coaster since the weekend, and a little stressed; I don't know if this is causing her to not come out yet, but I can't help but stress myself out more because I feel no signs of labor any time soon. My husband does not want to have sex because he feels as she should come on her own. I just need her out here with me because I am being selfish and feel like my world would be complete with her here. Any advise on what to do? I have been bouncing on the exercise ball, and nothing. I am feeling desperate and I know she will come when she's ready but I seriously need help either on how to naturally induce labor or words of encouragement to keep me patient. Thank you in advance!!
