Hurry Up and Wait

Just got back from the doctor. Disappointingly, still 1 cm. :( The good news...75% effaced! She swept my membranes, which was a little uncomfortable but not nearly as painful as the horror stories I was told. This should release prostaglandins and help "get things going". I'm not getting my hopes up though...still 9 days away from my due date. The pelvic pressure and lower back pain have subsided today, which is why I'm not hopeful about going early. I'll just continue to hurry up and wait. Happy Thanksgiving to all!
