Still Pregnant.....but for how long?

I don't know how much longer I can do this. I had an appointment yesterday (Wednesday). It was my Pre-Op, and an OB check. We talked about the C-Section (scheduled for next week), and did a regular OB exam. I'm measuring 36 weeks (I'll be 39 on Friday), and the baby's heart beat sounded great. She 'checked me', I think she said I'm still about 2cm, but it was so painful I'm not quite sure what she said! Then she did some scraping. I had a few contractions last night, but nothing to call in about.

I'm still barely able to walk. I have a really hard time sleeping.....and I can only sleep on my right side. It kills me to sit down to pee. I'm absolutely miserable! I called and left a message for my doctor to talk about doing a C-Section today or tomorrow. Rae....you were on my mind while I was crying through that phone call! ;-) Well, I just hung up the phone. They cannot do a C-Section before next week. My doctor said if I'm having any contractions...which I am, but they are few and far between.....then I can come in and she can rupture my membranes (breaking my water).

Wait, what? Really? Now that she says it could happen, do I really want to do this? Eeek! I have to call Adam and make some decisions.

As far as I understand that's about all they can do (because of my previous C-Section). They can break my water, and do a light pitocin drip, but they cannot turn it up, my body has to do it on it's own. Maybe though, with a little help we can do this!! Yikes!!

My next post might be baby or just more waiting.........
