an update, a vent, and a question all in one! *small update at bottom, nothing too exciting yet*
Alright, sorry I haven't tagged all you beautiful people individually, im on my phone so its hard.
I am still stuck at 5ish and 95% effaced with baby in 0 station. They aren't going to give me anything to help labor along, or stop it from coming. I have full access to walking the halls, the birthing ball, etc.
I feel like im in a catch 22. I desperately want a healthy, happy baby. So I want it to bake as long as possible. I also don't want to deal with contractions and pressure. Part of me wants to get up and do squats and walk and walk and walk to try and get things going, but the other part of me wants to lay upside down in bed. I feel lie im stressing my self out and going crazy!
I have lost globs and globs and globs of red/brown/pink nasty mucus. And by globs I mean the size of my hand, every time I use the rest room! I don't get how I have any more left to come out. I tell my nurses and doctors and they just laugh. I figure that's my bloody show which means labor should be soon..but who knows.
I feel like im going crazy!
So my question..
if you were in my situation what would you do??
Oh and for fun
When do you think this baby will FINALLY decide to come meet the world?

@mszcastillo that how I feel too, but then I feel guilty, like im trying to force the baby out or something! Its hard! I might walk for a while and then rest and just keep that pattern
@pawigo its been a huge fight with my body to keep this baby in this long
*Update!!!*
I keep having some pretty nasty period/gas like cramping..they aren't very close together or anything, not even sure if they are consistent enough to time! My hormones/emotions are driving me crazy and I want to punch my mother in the face and cry all at the same time!
