Hey guys! Well, I'm going absolutely crazy! I am 40 weeks pregnant w/ my first child and sooo tired of being pregnant. On the 4th of July I was in the hospital w/ contractions, everyone, the nurses and the midwife thought I was going to have this baby. Then my labor STOPPED! Yep, I've been 4-5 cm 5dialated since then and at my last appt. I was 75 -80% effaced. My midwife said that they won't do anything to induce my labor until 2 weeks after my due date. I honestly don't know if I can mentally handle being pregnant much longer. My husband is so excited and he's constantly looking at me w/ this pathetic look like he's mentally willing me into labor. I'm no longer working and I'm alone all day long, at this point the only people I want to be around is my husband and my mother. Everyone keeps calling to see if I've had the baby and how I'm feeling. I feel so angry all of a sudden everyone and everything makes me angry and I want to scream at everyone. How can I get my midwife to induce me? Sorry this is such a long post and it's mostly venting I'm just at the end of my rope now. Please help me! ↓

I wish I could help you in figure out how to get your midwife to induce you now and not wait, but unfortunately unless there is a medical reason for it they insist on 2 weeks. I remember my last month of pregnancy with my son like it was yesterday and I too was miserable. It can get pretty sickning to have people call and ask you if you had your baby yet. I actually hated my husband and would sit up at night because I couldn't sleep thinking of how I could kill my him without anyone knowing that I was the reason for his death. I was mad because how dare he sleep when I couldn't. As miserable as you might be the best thing to do right now is do your best to get comfortable and do know that this can be difficult at the moment.

In the end, all the misery will be well worth it. ↑

Tell her that your family has extremely large babies like over 9 lbs. (lol) Keep insisting that she induce you immediately. Is she willing to be sued in court if you get an infection for being so far dialated and not doing anything??? Complain that you are having seveve lower back pain and cant take it anymore. ↑

Had a midwife appt yesterday and saw an older, more experienced midwife. I voiced my concerns and she actually listened! she said the baby is in an OP position (face up instead of face down) and that I should lean over and have my belly hanging down to try to get the baby to flip. So, I spent my whole afternoon hanging over my birthing ball, and leaning over a chair trying to flip this little one. The midwife also scheduled me for testing on monday, i'm going to have a non stress test and an u/s so they can check the fluid around the baby. I'll also have another appt w/ the midwife to talk about induction! Yeah, the end is in sight! ↑
