Groundhog Day

Here we are, at 38 weeks, 4 days and the baby is (by our doc's account) not really any closer to making her appearance. She's still really high up and I'm only a teeny bit more dilated. Sigh. At this point it's like having the same day over and over again.

Sleep like crap, wake up to pee every time I need to turn over, wake up, shower, still be pregnant, nap, run errands, still be pregnant, eat, then lay down for another night of lousy sleep. Repeat.

If our little friend hasn't made any more progress by next Tuesday's appointment, we're going to start talking seriously about induction. Though I so want this HypnoBirthing thing to be how we deliver, I want to go post-term even less. Much less. The advantages of induction include knowing when (within a day or so) your kid is going to arrive, of being able to have all the mundane details we need to wrap up before we go to the hospital wrapped up.

So we're planning to spend the weekend walking walking walking, staying upright as much as possible and using the HypnoBirthing techniques to visualize my muscles stretching out to let her drop. Hopefully that will cause some positive changes by my next appointment.
