I'm going crazy! I'm 41 weeks with my second child and just came back from the doctor today. I was told it may be yet ANOTHER WEEK! I know there a dozen things to do to get "things going" but they said the cervix was still firm and the baby still wasn't low enough. If I induced with say, castor oil, it wouldn't do anything since "my body isn't ready."
I'm no stranger to being over due, my first child was nearly 2 weeks late. I guess my question is: What can I do to not be miserable?! I guess I should be happy that everything is ok, but I was really hoping to have him around for the Holidays. I'm so uncomfortable and upset... I'm afraid of going to 42 weeks and then having to be induced and have my baby at the hospital. (I plan to have a homebirth and the midwife only delivers at home between 38 and 42 weeks).
I just want to cry... Thank you to anyone who has read my "complaint" and to anyone with good advice on getting through this, especially during the holidays...
