so I just got back from the DR and had my sonogram appt first, they said everything looks great and they're guessing she's about 8# or so...then my weekly appt was really anxious about this one more than the other...
so BP is good, weight is good, and we started talking about inducing and he was like well do you want to be...and I said if it's possible yes please! So Im still @ 3cm almost to 4cm and still 80% effaced and baby is still at 0 Station....he said he was going to strip my membranes and that should trigger labor....however, I have a friend that had hers done and it caused her false labor so it can be good yet it can be not successful (so Im crossing my fingers that it's a good thing) so he said if nothing happens by Thursday, call late afternoon and he will call triage and tell them Im in labor and get me in so looking like latest this will be this weekend!!!
I asked him about the size of the baby and he said that honestly it is really hard to determine this far along in the pregnancy cause she is so squished in there so that's just kind of an estimate....(I actually had a friend get told her baby was going to be 9 and he came out 7 so that made me feel better haha)
so keeping fingers crossed she comes before Thrs but I actually feel like there is an end in site now!!!!
Re: just wanted to update you girls....
GL - I hope everything starts moving a long for you soon.
Did you have your membranes stripped? I was reading that it is very painful. Was it?
Thank you!!! Yes it was and uncomfortable( the internal exams are very uncomfortable)...he stretched my cervix a little as well...I cramped off and on for about 5 hours after too(which he said is normal)
