So this date has rolled around, and Dorian is still inside. As I have been measuring a week behind this "schedule", I came to grips with reality about 2 weeks ago that there was a good chance I wouldn't go into labor before April 12th. It is still frustrating, not knowing when or if I am doing something wrong that is causing Dorian to stay inside or my body not to go into full labor. Dorian is so low right now, and I have been at 3 centimeters for a week that we know of, so it is really aggravating because I want to keep hiking and walking but I do not want to get caught away from home or the Tahoe and in labor, as my mom says that it could quite possibly be a fast labor. Her last child, my little brother was so low that 1: she didn't know she was in labor, went to the doctor because she was feeling good, 2: doctor told her that she was 90% effaced and he couldn't believe she was able to hold him in, as low as he was, 3: it wasn't a long labor at all. None of her 4 births were long really, the 1st one was only 12 hours because they tried to keep my sister in and stop the labor as she was about 5 weeks early.
As much as I hate to say it, it might be a smart thing to start relaxing a little more now. Maybe a 10-15 minute walk here or there, I have been going and going throughout the whole pregnancy and being that I am planning a home birth without any medication, I need all the energy I have.
