Finally...A Date!
I saw Dr. Rosen yesterday and what do you know...I'm still not dilated. Not even feeling any contractions. So, he and Dr. B decided to induce me Sunday night at 6pm. Lily will most likely be born Monday evening, December 3rd! Of course, if she decides to come out naturally before then, even better. They'll start by inserting Cervidil into my cervix to ripen and soften it a bit more. That takes about 12 hours. Then they'll start the Pitocin, which will induce my labor. I forsee an epidural being administered somewhere thereafter, but we'll see how much I can handle first. I finally feel at ease, knowing when she'll come out. I'm really hoping I'll go into labor on my own, but all these natural anecdotes don't seem to be working for me. Lily's simply not ready to come out yet, I guess.

Good luck! I'm a first-time mom and will be 40 weeks tomorrow and also not dilated at all. In fact, my baby's head hasn't even engaged yet. We'll be scheduling an induction (I hope to put it off as long as possible) at my 41-week appointment this coming Tuesday.
I'll be checking your blog for updates! Can't wait to see your baby!
