3rd Trimester

38 week appt...eek! (in a good way)

Dr. checked me at my request and said I was definitely 1 centimeter and then he "stretched me to 2" (ow!). 75% effaced. Then he asked if I wanted him to strip my membranes and I said yes. He did so (ouch, but pretty quick at least) and then said he was on call tomorrow and maybe he'd see me to deliver! I think I'm in denial. He said my next appt. is jsut a formality, I shouldn't be there.

Do you think he is giving me false hope or will I really have a baby in the next few days???

I'm nervous/butterfly/anxious/excited/scared!!!

  • On Friday, I was 1-2cm, 70% effaced and -1 station and I am still very pregnant! You just never know though, you could go tonight or it could be another week!

  • My girlfriend was 2-3 cm and had her membranes stripped Friday.  Her water broke Sunday morning at 8 am!  Good luck!

  • With my last pregnancy, I was at 1 cm for a few weeks, and my Dr. went ahead and stripped my membranes, saying her success rate was "pretty high," and "hopefully I'll see you soon!" My DD, unfortunately, was very stubborn, and didn't comply. :) It supposedly does help in a lot of cases, though, so you just never know! :) Hope your LO comes soon!

  • Sounds like false hope... I wouldn't bet much on it, but good luck!  (And I'm jealous, because my midwife was not as encouraging)
