But she's not coming out....*sigh* Not much I can do. I'm really tired but I can't sleep. It's like just after 5:AM. I awoke with the extreme urge to listen to Tom Petty's "You Don't Know How It Feels." I remembered back in the day that how my parents and I argued endlessly about the lyrics in the beginning.

hm...if she doesn't come around by next week, have you and your doc thought about an induced labor?

Yes, he only wants to wait one week before inducing labor instead of the typical 2 weeks....I go back to the doc on Thursday (if I haven't popped yet) to get monitored and then discussion about inducing and scheduling the proceedure will be done.

How exciting!
I'm personally scared to hell of giving birth naturally...I donno..I'm so skinny and weak..I think I'd die or something...I'm considering a c-section (if the scar won't be too big).

hmm....

These days doctors make you go for natural birth unless you physically can't.

Before I was pregnant I never wanted to give birth naturally (if I were to have kids at all), I always assumed that I'd just somhow get a c-section. But now that I'm pregnant and have talked about different births with other moms and with my doctor, I've been told time and time again that getting a c-section isn't all that much better....healing time is more painful and takes longer to recover from.

I really still dont' know whether I'll be able to give birth naturally or not. I assume that I can, but I won't really know until the time comes. And that just seems like it's never gonna happen.
