Day before Due date

I have been having contractions on and off for a while now. Some can get so bad that I just want to curl up and cry. With it being the day before due date I feel that Riley may be coming late. You can't rush nature but boy do I wish I could. Sometimes I'm so uncomfortable that I just want to do what ever it takes to get comfortable. On Wednesday, we went to the hosiptal because Riley stopped moving for a long time. Over 12 hours. We get there, check in and they hook us up to the monitors. Hearing his heartbeat was a relief. My blood pressure was high and my body was swollen but after about 2 hours, everything was back to normal. We went to the doctors appointment and basically heard that next week (the 31st of August) we can talk about inducing and until then everything is fine. We so want to avoid inducing. I want to go into labor naturally. We will see though. So far we have tried just about everything. Even bouncing on a ball for hours at a time. Today I am going to go get a pedicure and hope that it might help. Wish us luck. Day before due date and I'm more anxious then ever. I am ready to hear his cry, see his little hands and feet, and see him in his daddy's arms.
