So I had suspected preterm labor at 30 weeks and have been having Braxton Hicks ever since, then had a false labor at 36 weeks... so of COURSE I've gone over 🤦🏻‍♀️😩

Had my dilation checked at 40+3 and NOTHING. High and hard !! To the point that the OB didn't give me a s+s because she said it would hurt too much !

Since then I've walked up hills, added copious amounts of chili to my food, had sex 1-2 times a day, bounced on the damn yoga ball for hours at a time, sniffed clary sage oil like I'm an addict... still nothing!! I get Braxton Hicks and period pains all day, but never at the same time, and they never escalate !!! Added bonus is that overnight I'm waking up every hour ON THE HOUR. So I'm tired and cranky too haha!

Today I'm picking up a pineapple so I can eat the whole damn thing, and finding some red raspberry leaf tea ! I'm just thankful that I haven't lost my mind enough to even consider castor oil 🙅🏻‍♀️🤢

Back to the OB tomorrow at 41w to set a date for induction, I'm just prrrraying I've dilated even a LITTLE 🙏🏼

Aghhh !!
