2 down 8 to go
i'm sure most of you know i'm ready to have this baby. i can't breathe, sleep or move at a normal speed. being pregnant is hard. so when my doctor told me at my visit on wednesday that i was 2 cm dialated i got all happy and excited!!
2cm!!! what does that mean!! i asked all giddy... he responded... " nothing really just that ur 2 cm dialated.... and the excitement went *poof! he told me that even though i'm dialated it doesn't mean i'm popping any time soon.. i could still make it to my due date... 3 WEEKS AWAY!
so i have to deal with sleep deprevation for 3 more weeks... not like i'm gonna sleep when the baby is on the other side of my pansa... hey 2 cm is better than none right??

don't get too excited, girly...
i stayed at 2 cm for 12 hours, even during active labor and i needed pitocin to help speed things along. maybe you'll be lucky and the baby will just slide out on its own! wouldn't it be nice if you went to your next OB visit and they were like, "yeah, you're at 10, time to start pushing!". sigh...
some tips to make labor come along naturally and safely when you're past your due date:
1) raspberry leaf tea
2) acupuncture
3) walking around A LOT
4) having sex (provided your water hasn't broken, yes, it works and it's fun too!)
good luck, it only get more interesting from here!
Rasberry leaf tea does have some risks to the umborn child..caution.

May your delivery go well and end happily for all.
