Well wishes and prayers needed!
Well I'm 40w1d had doctor appointment today. My doctor checked me still no progress. Even with all the contractions my body is not doing anything. The cervix is still high very long not thinned out. The babies head was still pretty high. Since I am over due, and high risk I will be going in for an induction on Sunday morning 6am..I just want some prayers that things go well and no c section! My water broke early with my first but my body wasn't progressing very much therefore I was given pitocine to induce get things going and I had great labor and delivery. Im hoping things go well again. Just really scared that it could possibly end in c section. Please sent all your prayers and well wishes I can use them! And im getting worried about my daughter I'm gonna miss her like crazy while at the hospital and I know she's going to have hard time without me I've never left her more then two hrs. Hope she does well..I'm leaving very detailed list for my mom whose staying at our home to watch her, hope that helps.

Well here as an update I've been having contractions for past 3 hrs I don't know when to go in though bc right now they are about 7 minutes apart about minute long. Maybe I won't be making it to my induction after all.
Everything will be fine.

Thank you everyone! Sorry took awhile been busy enjoying our little girl. Addeline Joy was born 12/7/13 at 12:34pm. She is 6 pounds 5 oz and 19 inches long. Everything went really well pretty fast. I started with the contractions at home at 11:30pm couldn't get hold of my hubby until way later once I had enough and called dispatch and they paged him. He came home from work and we were at the hospital at 6:30am. I was at 4.5cm got my epidural at 6cm and not long after was ready for few pushes she was here! Small but nice and healthy. So far great at breastfeeding and good sleeper very calm and quiet baby!. Thank you for all ur thoughts and prayers! And her older sister Scarlett came to visit loved her it was super sweet to watch
With regards to breastfeeding, its really normal for your milk not to come in til day 3-5, babies tummy is about the size of a marble so they don't need much at all (if you're having poopy & wet nappies, she's getting enough) all the frequent feeding will build up your supply & if you supplement with formula it will affect your supply. They also don't recommend using a paci for the first 6 weeks (think its 6 anyway) to avoid nipple confusion.
