I just got back from my 40 week OB appt and…WHOO-WHOO!!! I'm FINALLY dilated to a 3 and 50-60% effaced! They had me schedule my 41 week appt just incase...how depressing!
I’m measuring at 38-39cm so the baby should be about the size Nessy was (7lb 8 oz) or a few ounces bigger. Which is a HUGE relief because I have been dreading breaking my tailbone again. The heartbeat is in the 140’s and my bp is FANTASTIC! Here is what the dr said…first: "I can NOT believe that you are not swollen!" and then, pretty much, that if I have any contractions today, consistent or not, to go ahead and come in and she will NOT send me home! All that and I didn’t even have to shed a tear! I told her that once my water breaks the labor goes pretty quickly so if she wanted, she could just go ahead and break my water and I’d hop in the car and meet her over at the hospital!
So stay tuned…possibly tonight there will be news?!??!?!?? And if not, the nurse advised me to stretch the idea of having contractions (even if I wasn’t) since dr said she wouldn’t send me home!! Ha…now we have a back-up plan! :)
