I'm late!

Officially, I'm overdue. Righttttt....and I am in so much frickin pain. I can't sleep or walk. This totally sucks and my infertile guilt is kicking in hard that when I am upset by this pain, I get down on myself for being miserable. But I am.

I decided today was my last day of teaching. All is good there, but that means that I'm stuck at home until the 19th at the latest. Yup. No more progress on the labor/pre-laor front. Doc checked me Thursday and I'm still 1.5cm and -1 station, 60% effaced. Whatev's, right? She's giving me to the 19th then we induce. I think I am willing to endure this hellish pain until then for a chance at a drug free birth. We'll see, right?

I really can't complain. I've had such a wonderful pregnancy up until these past 8 days. sigh...

Oh this sucks that you haven't progressed any more! I'm glad though that you are done with work - that has to be a relief! 10 more days - max. Try as much as you can to relax and do something nice for yourself. And don't worry about the infertile guilt - NOBODY would claim that you don't appreciate your pregnancy when you're in this much pain - AFTER your due date, for pete's sake!

Hang in there!

I was going to say that I'm happy for you that they're giving you so much time until they induce.....but then again, maybe that's not such a great thing! And really, I think you can complain all you want! Just because you're an infertile (or once were) doesn't mean it doesn't hurt and you don't want it over! (I plan on complaining liberally if it gets to that point :-) Take care and thinking of you!

((((((HUGS))))))) Try to get some rest, and I hope your little one arrives soon!!

Just a note - a couple days after delivery, your body will feel SO MUCH BETTER than it did during the end of your pregnancy. But TAKE IT EASY because labor and delivery are still traumatic experiences on the body. It's hard not to overdo it, but resist the temptation.
