Baby Owen update...

So I had my 36 week appt today, including a deck swab (bwahahah, Jana!!), and am not dilated at all.  I'm kinda bummed about it because I'm DYING to get this baby out.  This time last year with Domenic I was at least 1.5 cm.  She said I'm partially effaced however.  My bp was extremely high today 160/100 and I have to go for a weekly NST from now til delivery. She made no mention of taking me out of work yet, so I'm hoping next week will be my last.  I had Domenic when I was 37 weeks, 5 days, so I'm just super anxious at this point...and super uncomfortable and, just plain done!  

Re: Baby Owen update...

  • It's funny how it can be different from pregnancy to pregnancy. Are you prepared if Owen decides to make his appearance sooner rather than later? You probably are, but I just had to ask :)

  •  With Macie I was 4 cm at 36 weeks and delivered at 38 and with Nathan I was 1cm at 38 weeks and had him a few days later.  At least second labors are usually quicker!  Keep us posted!

  • so funny, i'm hoping hoping hoping to go late again (was 5 days late before)... as much as i want to be comfortable again, i'm in no rush to have our lives turned upside down any sooner than necessary :)  i totally understand you being so anxious about it all now though, especially since you went early last time too... it really could be any time, very exciting!
  • I was less dilated with Reid too. With Indy I was like 3cm for about 3 weeks prior to having to be induced. With Reid, I was 1cm and the next week I had him...very strange how they can be so different!!

  • Hang in there lady!  he'll come when he's good and ready.  Enjoy your time with Dom because before you know it, he won't be the only child anymore!

    I can't wait to see Owen's little face!! 

  • Hang in there, Kelly.  Hopefully next week things will have made big changes.

    So I guess I'm gonna have my deck swabbed this coming week lol....

  • First of all I can't believe how close you are!!! It's insane how time flies. I suppose I could say the same for myself...I can't believe he is here, and almost a month old already! ack!

    Hang in there though! With Benjamin I was a fingertip dilated for 2 weeks, 1 cm when my water broke and made no progress for 15 hours during labor and then suddenly within 2 hours was 10 and ready to go. And he arrived a week early! You never know!
