Are you dialated or effaced??

I've been taking the EPO. I hope it is helping. I go to the Dr. on the 30th for a sweep. I'm hoping I've effaced at least to 80%.

I love this thread. Hearing all you ladies progress. Gives me hope things will get moving for all of us :)

My ticker is off by a few days. I just figured it was close enough LOL.I'm actually 37 weeks 4 days. My Dr. is doing it because our insurance changes in Janurary. If we have the baby in Dec. it saves us $3500. I'm going to be trying to run and trying every other natural induction I can think of. :)

Sounds like your all making progress. Woohoo!

I had my last doctors appt today. Still no change from last week. 1cm dilated and 25% effaced. Baby has dropped but im not dilating! I was hoping she would come on her own, but looks like the c-section date will be her birthday. Just 5 more days!!! It cant come soon enough!!!!!!!!!

Hey Harvey...we are due the same day....i dont have my 38 week app till next wed...when ill be 39 2 days after!!! oh the joys! They dont do Internals over here unless really need to so havent got a clue whats going on with me. Getting very inpatient now, especially when there is lots of Jan mums already got there Beautiful Babies!! ARRRR 

Went to the Dr today. She did another sweep. I'm 70% effaced 3+ dialated, and "VERY stretchy".Also baby is SUPER low. I told my Dr that DH was worried about breaking my water. She said with as low as the baby is she'd worry more about hitting her head. LOL!

She planned on trying to induce me on Monday but I guess the hospital is full of pregnant ladies who want their baby on 1/10/11 or 1/11/11. So now their not gonna induce me until Thursday at 8:00pm. Which totally SUCKS!! I'm so tempted to try castor oil. I thought waiting 4 days was long enough but waiting a whole week seems unbearable. I'm going on a long walk tonight with my friend. Maybe I'll do an enema. I'm just so scared that the castor oil will make me so sick.

Hope you ladies are getting closer and we'll be seeing more babies :)

4-5cm dilated 70% effaced, was stripped and have been having start and stop contractions all day.  very frustrating
