Today I had another doctor's appointment and this is how things went down.
Doctor: (Enters)
"So how are things going?"
Meredith:
"I am done, I am so over this pregnancy thing. I want my body back. I'm so bloated I didn't recognize my own face in a picture"
Doctor: (Laughs)
"Well, I have some news. I'm going to Mexico a week from tomorrow. So you can have your baby before 7 AM on Tuesday or else stay in bed and hope it doesn't come until I get back."
Meredith:
"Well, staying in bed wouldn't be that different from my current schedule (laughter at M's super funny joke). I would like to have the baby this week. I had an evil contraction on Sunday and some other symptoms (I wont write on line, it would be a total over share) and I think its getting close to go time."
Doctor:
"Well, if your cervix is dialated enough, I could fiddle around and try to get things going."
(Meredith readily agrees to the "fiddling around" and happily envisions having the baby in the next 24 hours)
Doctor checks Meredith
Doctor:
"Well, you are really thinned out but you aren't dialated enough, sorry."
Meredith curses her cervix and leaves the doctor's office to go walk around target in an attempt to get things moving. This plan did not work, Meredith was unable to will her body into labor. Meredith finally admitted defeat and went home.

UGH, those first babies just do NOT know how to cooperate! i'm so sorry. i truly am. keep up the walking--and i mean REALLY walking. like all day if you can bear to! it worked for me!
When is your due date? Are you overdue yet? Don't be too dissapointed until you are overdue, now that SUCKS! Luckily my dr. induced me 3 days overdue, to me it was 3 wks too late :)
oh, and sorry, another comment... for those girls who say "it worked for me" that is so untrue! I walked the entire Vegas strip overtime, bounced on a bouncy ball, had "fun" with my hubby several times a day (sorry if TMI), ate spicy foods, fell on accident, and tried meditation! The baby comes when the baby wants to, or when the dr makes it.
Pretty much the "it worked for me statement" is anything you did before you had the baby. For me that was crying, haha.
I'm not overdue, not even close. My due date is March 13th- I'm just a whiner. My doctor already mentioned she will induce right after my due date if I'm still prego, so that was good news.
