Not Time Yet, Maybe Time Tomorrow

No, not yet. I have one more week and then it's Cervidil and Pitocin...I'll have hit 42 weeks, and I can respect that my care providers are just not comfortable past that point-for most people these days, 42 weeks is pretty generous. I'm trying to remain positive that something will happen-we thought it might be yesterday, but not yet. I seriously dread the feelings of failure that I'll have if I end up with a chemical induction and I seriously dread the c-section issue, the risk of which increases significantly with induction.
We're doing the things we're supposed to-sex, evening primrose oil, nipple stimulation, walking, etc. We're also now doing daily visits with the reflexologist, acupuncturist and chiropractor. No castor oil yet, but there is a herbalist who works with the acupuncturist, and he may have some ideas. My goal now is Thursday when the OB I like is back on call.
There are contractions, and sometimes consistent ones for an hour or two, and they've changed in feeling and intensity and where they come from but they don't stick around.
It'll happen eventually. No one is pregnant forever. But I'm getting to "concerned" now.
