FFFC 6/10

At this point in our pregnancies, I feel like some of us could use a distraction (myself included). Let's hear 'em!

Although I'm really excited to meet my baby girl, I hope she waits until after 6/13 because DH and I have tickets to a Bob Dylan concert and I really want to go! My water can break as we're leaving the concert for all I care, but I wanna go!

I spent 8 hours last night with painful contractions every 2-4 minutes, and was sent home from L&D while still having them because I hadn't progressed. They eventually stopped and today I just have random ones. 

My confession, I wish I had been dilated enough that they would have admitted me and given me something to speed it along. I'm normally a very natural person, and want things to go as naturally as possible, but if they had offered to induce I would have jumped on it. 

And confession #2, my mom came down and is staying for the weekend, and my husband is working from home today, and I wish neither of them was here. I just want a normal day with my kids. And I really hate feeling like there are people waiting around for me to do something I can't control.  I just want to crawl in bed and cry right now.

My FFFC- Baby is measuring in the 90th percentile. I'm going for the second growth scan on Monday to determine how big baby is, and what my chance of a successful vaginal delivery is.

I'm 38+6 today, not thinned or dilated at all and baby's head is still high. My practice doesn't induce until 41 weeks unless medically necessary. Having a possibly 10-11 pound baby vagunally terrifies me!

My confession is that as much as I wanted to have a natural, unmedicated birth I have really come around to, and sort of even like, the idea of a planned c-section late next week.

The cure came to Denver the 5th and I was due the 6th so I didn't get tickets and was super bummed. If I had realized I wouldn't have been having him until today I would have gone.

The scans are notoriously inaccurate.  Less than 24 hours before her birth at 7lb 15oz, an ultrasound predicted my daughter to be 9+ pounds.

True. I'm also measuring significantly ahead as well, hopefully the 2 growth scans and 2 OB appointments within 4 days will give us a more accurate idea.

I did pay the extra non-refundable $20 for travel insurance, just in case.

@Tawny87 I didn't get Cure tickets for basically the same reason, it was a few hours from home and after the date I'd already had my first son so I was too scared to go, but seeing all the pictures of people I know there made me really sad.
