Josh and I went in to my doctor’s office this morning. My blood pressure was perfect. I am dilated to two centimeters and the doctor stripped the membranes again. I told her not to go easy on me. I was hooked up to the fetal monitor for 30 minutes to check the baby’s heart rate. The nurse came in halfway through and said everything looked good but they wanted to see another increase in the heart rate showing when the baby moved. It was like the kid heard her and started moving all over the place. After that we were sent to the sonogram tech to check the amniotic fluid which looked good. They are estimating an 8 1/2 pound baby although sonograms this late in the game are very inaccurate.
All in all both baby and I checked out perfectly. However, if the baby hasn’t made their appearance by Sunday I will be getting induced at 12:01am Monday morning. I’m praying so hard the baby comes on it’s own. I’ve been having contractions all morning so we’re hopeful. We’ll keep you posted!
Eek!! It’s getting so so close!
So Glad to hear that all is well, health-wise… Good Way to Start Labor! ;)
Still thinking of you!!
Contractions are good! I’ll keep praying!
And 8.5 lbs? Let’s hope that’s a little off…whew.
