Fetal Monitoring

What a horrible afternoon I have had! Since I woke up this morning with more pelvic pressure and sciatic pain down both legs, I decided it was time to get into the Dr. today for an exam. So, I left work and went in for my 2pm appointment. I had a few contractions while in the waiting room. At 2:40, we were all told that the dr. was called into an emergency delivery and we would either need to reschedule our appointments or wait until he got back. So then I told the nurse the reason for my visit and she took me back. I was hooked up to a fetal monitor for 45 minutes to track the baby's heart rate and movements and my contractions. Everything looked good. I was contracting throughout the 45 minutes but not super strong ones. Then at 3:45 the Dr. finally came back and was able to check me. I am still only 2cm dilated (which made me burst into tears) but I am 70% effaced. He tried to reassure me that the effacement means more than the dilation and said that I have made progress and the head is down very low- which explains the pain. He said everything is very favorable for delivery and said the actual delivery will go faster since I have already effaced to 70% and the head is so low. He said to keep my regular appointment scheduled for Thursday with him and if things don't happen on our own before then, we would discuss a possible induction sometime over the weekend. I do not want to be in the hospital on Sunday!!!!! (not because it's mothers day but because its Morgan's birthday!) It will break my heart not to be with my baby girl on her day! So, I am hoping and praying that something happens on its own tonight or tomorrow! I need it! I am emotionally and physically spent at this point. So- 2 and a half ours out of work, I will be working from home later this evening to catch up. So frustrating!
