So, I had my weekly appointment yesterday. Gained 2 pounds since last week, which is where I should be. Which so far gives me 23 pounds total gained so far in my pregnancy. Doctor said if baby was at least in my pelvis, or basically at least 1 cm dilated, we could induce as of next week. Welll............I have no change. I'm still not dilated, and my princess is still high up. She's so high up that when the doctor listened to her heartbeat he got nervous that she had flipped back around and had to wheel in the ultrasound machine to make sure she wasn't!! So, the only good news out of my appointment is that she's still head down, and looks beyond the meaning of perfection. Other than that, I have to say I am discouraged that I'll be 39 weeks tomorrow and there is no sign of her coming. I have my gut feeling that I'll be induced no matter what, as I was also induced with both of my boys :shrug:
 
Sorry to hear that hun, but don't give up hope yet!! My mum was told by her consultant (when pregnant with me) that there was no way she was going to go into labour naturally and that she would end up with another c-section (like she had previously with my brother). She was told this at an appointment in the morning, and she went into full blown labour that same night!
 
I'm definitely not giving up hope!! I just hope and pray that something gives sooner than later that's for sure. I'm gonna go buy a birthing ball and try that for a while. I started my maternity leave TODAY :) So, all I have is time!
 
Go for it! lol :) have you tried all of the usual things (even if some are probably old wives tales!)? like inserting EPO, eating spicy food etc?

I've also heard that being really active can be good to get labour going, so lots of long walks outdoors or something might be helpful.

Good luck and fingers crossed for you!
 
My cousins apt went exactly like this and she went a day over her due date not bad!
