38 weeks and holding...

Today was my 38 week appt. It's getting close to the end, but not close enough. Had alot of contractions last night, and very uncomfortable in general, but no go at the doctor this morning. They haven't checked me since 36 weeks (when I showed at 3cm) and I'm wondering why, but I guess the doctors know best, right? My doc told me this morning that we'd meet next week and discuss induction if I wanted. Well, I don't really want to be induced. I'd like to do this one natural, since both the other two were inductions, but what I'm more concerned about is not knowing what's going on.

Is is totally normal to be this miserable, or to have contractions this strong and nothing come of it? I mean, I guess I just don't know myself as well as I thought I did, and that's what's bothering me so much today.

So what am I doing? Sitting and waiting. I'm at home, waiting for the day to arrive, waiting for some sign of actual labor, waiting for anything. I don't know when it will happen, all I know is that it will at some point.

Let's hope for sooner rather than later!
