Yes, patience as a virtue was skipped right over me. Instead I got her sister, IMpatience. Which isn't as good.

Sorry about the long wait guys. There shall be no baby today. Apparently my body is just leaking a buttload of clear watery discharge. Yeah, uh-huh. I am 4.5 cm now and 90% effaced and of course was having horrible contractions when I left. The nurse felt so bad. She even called the doc back for me and asked him to talk directly too me because I was so upset. What did he do? He refused to effing call me. He said that I have an appointment tomorrow and we can discuss a plan of care then. That's fine and dandy for him but he's not the one that has contractions all day everyday. He's not the one that keeps going to L&D and is going to have pay 20% of all this crap. This is the 10th visit btw. He needs to let me squeeze his freaking penis every time I have a contraction and then decide not to keep me. He has already made his plan quite clear. Induction at 38 weeks. Only thing is he wants to do it next week and not Friday because that would cut in on his weekend. Well, he doesn't come out and say that but I know that's what it is. His office closes on 12 Fridays. I am so freaking pissed right now. I just feel like crying. I can't keep having contractions like this. I'm worn out as it is and there's absolutely nothing that he can or will do for me. I just don't know-I really feel like dying right now.

I don't understand why they haven't broken your water at this point.

SEX. Tell your husband he is doing this or he has to live with you pregnant. Possibly forever.

The ball. Continue rolling your hips open on the ball. SIT UP as much as possible. Reclining is your enemy to get this labor going. Walking is good. But you could exhaust yourself. The ball is good. Also a kitchen chair, you can sit upright but kind of lean over the back of the chair.

You could get enough gravity action to get this baby out before your doctor gets to choose for you. Smile

Apparently my contractions are of no concern unless my cervix is changing more. Yeah, I get that's the definition of labor and all but this is getting ridiculous. This is one of the many reasons my blood pressure is up. Pain causes increased blood pressure. I totally hate this man.

Sex is about the only thing we haven't done since last week. Mainly because I've been in so much pain. We might have to do that tonight though when he gits home. I do sit up mostly and I have been using the ball. I just dont' know.

But your cervix is changing. You are now at 4.5 cm and that is plenty far enough dilated to break your water and start your labor that way - without pitocin and all that. Additionally, it gives 24 hours to get it done... so there is a time limit, but you are already quite a bit dilated.

My mom and I argued that too. Obviously he doesn't think it's enough change. Instead, he wants me to go home and come to the office tomorrow. I swear I'm gonna kick the man while I'm in labor.

I went through something similar to this with my daughter O.o. I know it wont matter to you now, but on the bright side of this, once labor REALLY gets into gear you're already half way there ^^. I really think they should have just broke your bag of water and let you go.

But 4.5 is 1/2 way there.

Squats also work. It isn't going to feel comfortable - it isn't supposed to. You are getting this baby out. I'm kind of shocked that when they check you your waters haven't broken. Because 4.5 is quite far to be dilated and just be hanging out at home.

Keep doing the upright thing. Keep her head right on your cervix and that will get this going.

After I eat dinner I'm going to do some mad squats and get on my ball. I'm about to starve now. At least I am feeling a little more comfortable going med free. I'm halfway there now so it makes me feel like I can really do this.
