Ah, the weekly cervix update. You were on the edge of your seats waiting for it weren't you? Well, wait no more, I actually have news this week! Yes! That's right! PROGRESS! I am almost 2 cm dilated and 70% effaced. Wow.
Ok, so it's not like he's just going to fall out of me any second, but after three weeks of 1 cm and 50% effaced, I'm taking any progress I can get. Since I'm progressing at a snail's pace, the consensus was that I should hold off on having labor induced on Monday. It seems that unless I can get to 3cm on my own, induction may not be successful. The nurse told me this very delicately, possibly assuming I'd have some kind of emotional breakdown. Luckily, I'd already decided I didn't want to be induced Monday anyway.
So, we continue to wait. I've got another appointment on Wed that I'm hoping will reveal even more progress. The ultrasound due date is next Friday (the 13th!), so with any luck I'll have him next week! I hope.
