Did you get her to give you a sweep today?

I'm really thinking about it.
and they don't do sweeps here, in my area at least.

Now that is just mean!!! My doctor didn't offer, I asked her a few weeks earlier if she would at 38 weeks and reminded her she said she would do it last week. Giving a call is worth a shot

I was hoping you would have a friday induction so I would have someone going through it that day also.

I'm sorry, you'll need to let me know how it goes.

Maybe its a good thing?

There are so many studies that show inductions cause fetal distress, more need for medical intervention and result in a higher rate of caesareans. Hopefully, your labour will come along naturally before next Tuesday and you'll be glad you waited!

Here's a website on natural induction methods that can keep you occupied for the next few days if you start to go out of your mind with the waiting:

Hoping the hospital has internet or something, or I'll be missing in action till sunday or monday with that dreading 48 hour stay :/
I really need to get with the rest and get a smart phone with internet! All I have is my laptop and nook.

Oh yes, I know. I've done the research, and that's a huge part of my decision, because my body just isn't doing ANYTHING to get ready to deliver this baby.
And that right there is asking for a rough time of it.

And I sure hope so! Keep fingers crossed for me.

Also, i know the pains of kidney infections and bladder infections.. I feel for you. I've had problems with my kidneys since i was about 8.. I had went from bladder to kidney infections for a entire straight year once. And crystals are the worst- i felt like i was going to die. My OH didn't know about me and my problems with them when we first started dating and i had one like.. 3 months after i started dating him and i was like screaming in the bathroom and all he saw was me in the floor and blood in the toilet.. it totally freaked him out he wanted to call the ambulance but i told him no and i'll explain it to him in a second. -.- their so not fun. Luckily, i havent had one with the pregnancy yet! knock on wood!

Surely they are updated with technology!

I mean if they have jacuzzie tubs, rocking chairs, tvs they better have internet to keep me sane! Also hoping they have a cd player, the week before labor my ipod decides to shit on me and it had my labor playlist.
Good thing is, you can go into labor before then. I found out that with induction you are stuck to the bed on a monitor

No tub, walking around, bouncing for me. Now i'm pretty sure I'll have to get epidural since I cant do anything to help the contractions along.
I would try alot of sex ( I know, what pregnant woman wants that??!?

) jogging, jumping jacks, dancing.
