Still a Big, Fat ZERO

Just got back from my doctor appointment and lunch.

Still no dilation.

Not even 1 measly centimeter.

SIGH.

A few promising things:
1) It did hurt more this week to get the cervix checked. This MUST mean that it is softer or something than last time. RIGHT?! (Don't tell me...I prefer to leave in my dreamworld.

2) My doctor previously was going to be on vacation all of next week. Unfortunately (for him) but fortunately (For us) he will be back on Tuesday so anything after Tuesday is fair game in terms of labor and delivery!

and because I have been telling people at work that I will be pregnant until December, I also asked how long he would let me go before getting induced. I am very anti-getting induced at this point.

3) He would let me go until 9/10. At one week past due date, he would do a stress test on the baby to make sure he/she is still doing well but would leave it up to me before 9/10 to say yes. I find this very comforting b/c I feel like a lot of doctors seem to induce like 1 day after the due date.

So we're back to waiting. Apparently, my cervix just needs some stress, according to doc. Apparently, walking 3 miles a day for the past two weeks is not enough stress. Back to work!
