Alot of you are friends with me on FB, and I posted pics on there, but some of you aren't so I thought I'd share here too since I haven't posted many pregnancy pics on here. Anyway, this is me at 38 1/2 weeks. I really thought I would be in the hospital around this time since this is my 3rd baby, but she is hanging in there! At my last app. on Wed, I was only fingertip dialated. I go again this coming Wed and am hoping for some kind of progress. I've had a couple of things happen yesterday and today that make me think the time could be near though (losing mucous plug and TONS of pressure "down there"), but I know that those things could mean nothing, really. I am so ready though...hospital bags are packed, house is in order, nursery is done, her clothes are washed, etc. Now, it's just a waiting game. And I am getting so tired of waiting! My Dr. said we could talk about scheduling an induction this week, but I don't really want to go that route. This is my last pregnancy ever, so I really want the same experience I had with the first 2 of not knowing when it's gonna happen and being able to labor at home for most of it. If I get to 40 weeks and she still isn't here, I may consider it though!
Re: 38 1/2 Weeks and Counting...
I'm 39 weeks and 2 days, so I understand the frustration of waiting. I was kind of hoping there was something to the full moon theory, but it seemed to be a dud for me. I'm scheduled for a c-section on Friday, which is my actual due date.
Hopefully you won't have to wait too much longer!
ETA: I'm also only a fingertip dilated. I go back in Wednesday as well for a check on my progress, but I'm not holding my breath for anything
I thought about you when I saw the full moon the other night. Lanie will be here before you know it! Can't wait to hear your doctor says!!
BTW you look beautiful as always!
You look great!!!
