37.5 weeks and 6cm dilated. Sitting AT HOME!!!!

posted 27th Jul '12
Hi everyone. I am 37.5 weeks and 6cm dilated with no consistent contractions. About 2 weeks ago I started dilating and I've gotten this far, but after 3 trips to the hospital and a little bit of embarassment, I am now sitting at home playing a waiting game! My doctor does not want to induce me, due to it being too early (law here is no sooner than 39 weeks unless serious complications). I have tried a few things to get contractions going, but no progress. They say my son is approx. 8 lbs 14oz as well. I'm wondering if I am the only person thats ever gone through this OR WHAT?! This is my 3rd preg. by the way and I'm told labor will be FAST so I'm just really freaking out at this point as I do NOT want to get to hosp at the last minute and not be able to get epidural (A MUST-especially since he's about 9lbs!!) HELP ME PLEASE. I have lost my mucous plug (with "bloody show") long time ago, the baby has dropped and been in position for a week now, and I have many other symptoms such as diareah, that indicate its soon but NO BABY YET???????????

When labor comes you will have less work to do. Sit back and relax, it will happen when the LO and your body are ready. Even at 6 cm you will have enough time to make it to the hospital.

I was the same as you for a month. I ended up being induced at 39 weeks and had a two hour labor. Hang in there! Nothing worked for me.

you are lucky - you are well dilated and it will happen when it happens. I know a woman who was 8cm for over a week and the doctor didn't induce for the same reasons. you know what, baby didn't fall out, but she had a relatively short labor and a great experience. Who care how far dilated you are at this point, you will know when it's really time.
