Have regrets getting hopes up

Mackenzie

Just me complaining. Had an appt today and got checked (planned to deny but totally forgot because she was already down there checking my water because I thought it broke). Anyway I’m dilated and I think completely effaced and my doctor literally laughed and said “I’m on call this weekend I’ll be seeing you then. You won’t make it through the weekend”. And when she left she said “see you in a few days”. At my chiro appt yesterday after my adjustment she said “girl you’re ready I can just tell working on your body you’re ready. Any day now”. I wish they hadn’t gotten my hopes up. I KNOW it doesn’t mean anything but they still got my hopes up and then everyone shit on me reminding me I can sit dilated for weeks and it means nothing and to not be happy. And now I’m having the most painful menstrual cramps from the check and am mad I have my hopes up and have regrets because pain 😂

Also just background Incase asked: I’m about 3cm dilated but she said I could easily stretch to a 4. Have lost all mucus plug. Also have been having menstrual cramps daily for about 2 weeks and Friday night I had what I’m considering real contractions for a few hours. Like grit my teeth and breathe through them pain. So I am happy I’m dilated in the sense of the pain has been for something. I would have been destroyed if I was a 0 and have been suffering for two weeks for nothing.
