I KNOW HELP!!!!!!!!!!! I went to my OB yesterday and "no change." I am still 80% effaced (last three weeks) 0% dialated. Ugh. We scheduled for a c section at 41 weeks and a few days....(20th) so I'm really REALLY hopeful he comes before then. I don't want another c section, and I don't want thanksgiving in the hospital.


Ugh. I'm 39.5 weeks now (I guess, my due date is Nov 13th they moved it a few times due to his size). and I'm so so

Yes even my OB suggested that yesterday. Yep we are going to try to see if that does the trick this weekend. I think I forgot how....;) And I'm such a walrus at the moment I'm feeling sorry for DH:)


I actually looked reasonably OK up till a few weeks ago and I'm just all massive belly at the moment. its pretty ridiculous! But if it works, its worth a try.

I have.


I took 15 weeks off with my first and 16 with my second (I live in CT where FMLA is 16 weeks).


I was paid for 6 weeks of this time through STD.


We planned ahead for this, saving a little bit each paycheck for 9 months.
