Had a check up this morning, but have absolutely nothing exciting to report. My MW doesn't check for dilation/effacement, even after full term.
So I'm calling Massage Envy today and scheduling a massage for next week. I'm telling them to do anything and everything they know how to trigger labor (by this time next week I'll be 39 weeks) ...who knows if it'll do anything but it'll feel good. Haha
Appt today at 38w 5d went well. BP and LO's HB were good- I am still measuring 2 weeks behind, but growing so OB was pleased with that. Cervix is still pretty high, and I am still at only 1cm dialation and softening. She told me that she thinks it will be two weeks until I see this baby, which I am fine with. I don't want my ILs in town! She did say that my calves are a bit swollen, which is new for me- so I guess I'll just drink more water and prop my feet up!

I tried so hard to get a prenatal at Massage Envy this week but both locations near me are totally booked till Tuesday! Grr!! Enjoy yours
Had my apt. today. Dr said that my amniotic fluid showed in the 95th percentile on the ultrasound Tuesday, she said it's not something to be concerned about but that she wants another ultrasound in a week to check it. Baby is measuring close to eight pounds already (even though I know it's an estimate ouch) and my BP and his heart rate look good. She only does internal checks if requested. She checked me last week so I'm in no rush to have that again if she doesn't think it's necessary.
38w 1d appt today... 1 cm dialated, and 80% effaced... BP still high, so I had to do some blood work, and tomorrow is a 24 hour urine collection (fun, fun, fun...). And I have to go back Monday instead of next Thursday. Anyone else realize that you can totally think yourself into a headache and blurred vision if you focus on it too much? I am such a paranoid little bundle of nerves right now. Sigh.
Went in at 38w 1d yesterday and had the normal song & dance which all looked good. Dr did the first cervical check and I'm at 1cm & 50%. She did mention that she's concerned because it feels like I have a small pelvis and the baby might not fit. Anybody else gotten this kind of feedback? Makes me nervous that I'll end up with a very long labor that will end in a csection anyway.
Small women birth babies all the time... My 5' 0" friend pushed out her almost 9lb baby just fine. I mean, good info to have just in case, but no one totally knows how big your baby is or what your body can do! Stay confident if u can
NST took forever because this child is a trouble maker as usual but he passed. Dilated 1 cm and 50% effaced. -2 station. Declined membrane strip. Lost part of my mucus plug before my appointment. Backache and menstrual crampy.

carolyngrace Such a pet pieve of mine. This time around they estimated my baby was 8-9 pounds and she ended up 7 pounds 1 oz. whenever a doctor tries to tell someone how big their baby will be I just roll my eyes

Appointment today at 41 weeks. Still absolutely no progress, and my OB won't induce for a VBAC... so I went ahead and booked a RCS for Monday. Cue all of the anxiety, mixed with relief that I'll finally meet this baby. I'm kind of bummed out that I won't get my VBAC, but I'm glad that I waited it out just in case. 3 more days... AHH!

Had my 39w appointment today, 3cm dilated, yay! Not so yay - the doctor thinks the baby is already 9lbs! She's been measuring big all along so it's not a surprise, but hopefully she comes out soon before she breaks the 10lb barrier. My first was 8lbs and it took 3 hours of pushing to get him out, so I am scared!
Good gracious, my OB is out on vacation so the doctor's office is swamped and I didn't get to see an OB until and hour after my scheduled appointment!
Appointment was good. I'm now 2cm dilated (was 1cm and 50% last week) and she did a membrane sweep. Hopefully it will have been my last appointment! So so ready for my baby girl to be here!!!!
I was sent again to L&D today from my OB appt. BP was high and more protein in urine. Thankfully I get to go home and do my 24 hour urine draw and come back to hospital tomorrow for analysis and more labs. If anything has gotten worse they will induce tomorrow otherwise I am on the books for Tuesday at 4am.
Went in at noon today, very reluctantly, for my scheduled induction. They checked me over for a couple hours: monitoring contractions and baby's heart rate, did an ultrasound to check fluid levels and movement, etc and ultimately decided I was A-OK to be sent home! So, induction postponed! I'm scheduled to come back on Friday and I feel soooo much better about it even though I still might need to be induced. Baby STILL hasn't dropped, WTF?? But doc was optimistic seeing all my contractions and said I still might turn a corner and go on my own. Fingers crossed!
Your baby boy is adorable!! Can't wait to hear more about your induction/birth. Rest up and enjoy your first few days together.
