The Waiting Game

Matt and I went to see Dr. Wilson again today.  I went into the appointment thinking that maybe he would tell me I was dilated to at least 3 and on my way to a speedy delivery. Well, my cervix didn't get the clue that it's supposed to be dilating. I am now "A good solid 2 cm dilated" says Dr. Wilson. The baby's head is still super high and resting on my right hip. I guess I kind of knew this, since I can feel exactly where he is. I was just a little disappointed in my progress.  I completely trust Dr. Wilson and I know he is making good clinical decisions but I really wish he would have just said "Let's just schedule an induction for this weekend" He says if he induces me now, he would just be increasing my chances for a c-section. By all means I do not want to do anything that would increase these chances. He just kept saying, it's my job to keep you and baby healthy. I have to respect that and trust that he knows what's best--- after all he IS the doctor.  I have to say I was more uncomfortable 2 weeks ago than I am today, however I am much more tired these days, sleeping is just not easy.  At this point I'm more excited than anything to meet my baby boy! He will be here when it is his time.
