41 + 1

On Friday the 30th I ended up at the hospital because of my blood pressure. They put me on the fetal monitor, did an US and a BPP (Bio Physical Profile). My cervix has been at 1+ for a week and a half now. I was sent home after 5 hours (I hadn't planned on staying anyway). While I was at the hospital I realized I had been getting contractions since the last evening. It just felt like gas pain to me, but they were coming every 3-4 minutes or so. I watched the monitor as they came, it was actually quite interesting. More interesting than the whole 20 channels on the tv. The contractions continued pretty much the same until I went to bed that evening. They haven't been regular since. I get an occasional one, every so many hours. I go back to the doctors tomorrow. I'm going to have to make the decision to wait (which doesn't seem to be doing shit), to induce (which turned extremely bad last time), or to have another c-section (I really don't want surgery). I don't want to make the decision. I don't know what is best. I'm getting extremely depressed and frustrated.

While typing this I have had 3 contractions, but I know if I move they will stop.

At this time in my last pregnancy I was in labor by induction, stuck at 5 cm, and they took her by c-section and general anesthesia in about an hour.

I just don't know what to do, but I don't think my body is going to do this on its own.
