Going to the Hospital.....But......

Well, I've had a few times that I've had to go to the hospital, because I thought it was 'time.' Unfortunately, three times they've told me I could go home. On the last time (Tuesday, May 11th), they actually said something WAS happening and had me walk the halls (in the beautiful hospital gown, no less) for an hour to see if I'd dialate anymore, but I didn't, she's just not coming. What the heck babygirl, what are you waiting for? I'm ready.
As the articles on the internet say, 'you won't be pregnant forever, the baby will come when it's ready.'
I know something is happening and it's going to happen really soon, I can feel it, my body can feel it.
I'm just praying that God tells me when I should go to the hospital. I don't want to wait too long and have to have my baby at home, that's my ultimate nightmare, because I don't think we would know what to do and I wouldn't want anything to happen to my little baby girl.
I'm sure He will let me know when it's time.

My Pregnancy.....

Well, this pregnancy has been one of ups and downs. It has certainly been different than the other three, that's for sure. My other three babies have all come at 36 weeks, this one has not. Well, my OB has had me go to the hospital twice a week to have these "non-stress tests" done, to see how baby's heart rate is doing and to see if she's 'sounding', also, once-a-week ultrasound tests to see how much amniotic fluid the baby has around her.
Of course early-on, I had a scare and thought she was gonna come early, and now that we want her to come, since we've now reached 36 weeks, she doesn't wanna come out. She's biding her time. Every time I go to do the NSTs, I'm hoping that they say, "okay, it's time to admit you, today's the day!!!" But not so far.
