38 weeks today and no sign of baby

We had a doctor's appointment yesterday afternoon. No dilation to report, nothing new to report, still just waiting (albeit impatiently now!)

The doctor said they won't let me go past 41 weeks which would be August 7, so if baby doesn't decide to come on his/her own, we are looking at a birthday somewhere around August 7.

Bags are packed, nursery is finished, new camera and camcorder are charged and ready to go....

Next doctor appointment is July 25, maybe we will have some news before then!

My friend Sascha's due date was yesterday and she is still just waiting. She has been 1 cm dilated for a week now, but no progression. Did you know that only 5% of women have their baby on due date? It's this date that we keep in our heads and think about for 30-something weeks, but it really doesn't mean anything....it's just an estimation...but it is something we hold onto dearly, and then we watch it pass by.
