Single Digits

laurennkeith

I just realized this morning that I am single digits away from my due date! WOW! Anyone else having a hard time wrapping their head around the fact that they will have a baby in the next few days/weeks? I can't believe it. I feel like I am walking around in denial that I will actually be going into labor any day now. LOL.

 On a similar note....I had my weekly appt yesterday. I was told my my OB's partner when she had to see me one appt. that my OB doesn't like to do internals (fine with me) unless necessary. So I didn't expect to get an internal yesterday. But I was joking with my OB telling her how this last trimester discharge is fun and how I literally stopped in the hall way and put my hands between my legs because I was "leaking" and for a second there it felt like it wasn't stopping. So she worried I may be leaking fluid even though I didn't think I was, so got that dreaded internal LOL! It wasn't that bad, and luckily so far no bleeding or cramping. She didn't say how much but said I am starting to dialate, 0 station, 75% effaced, loosing my mucus plug. And just as I knew I would (which is just 1 of the reasons I didn't really care to get an internal) I obsessed ovr what she had told me about my progress. She felt his head, said I could too if I wanted to at home (no thanks). I know it doesn't mean anything, that's why I never cared to know, but its hard once it is you hearing about your progress. Then she said her hunch was I would go before my due date. Shock to me, even though again it was just a guess....but I have been telling everyone I feel too good to be about to go into labor so my prediction has been that I will be late.

I guess we will see soon enough.

On a negative note, unbeknownst to me, I have a yeast infection, so she prescribed me some cream that I have to shoot up there...poor baby's head so that breastfeeding isn't an issue. I don't like that I have to take something at this point in pregnancy, and then of course the pharmicist worried me because she said it was a Category C prescription and did my doctor know I was pregnant....pretty sure since it was my OB! haha. But anyway, doctor knows best, so I will fire away.

 Any updates from you girls?

I'm due on Sunday (whaaattt???) and I am super excited/anxious/ready/nervous.  At my appt last week, my OB also did my first internal and reported 75% effaced, soft cervix but closed up tight.  She felt the head, too, which for some reason was very exciting for me.  Said the baby could come "anytime"... I tried not to read anything into that, but I couldn't help it.  Meanwhile I have all the soon-to-be-grandparents staying with us (not my choice) and everyone just sitting around asking me if I think the baby is coming today?  ARrrggghh...

Appt today, let's see what the doc says.  Hoping for healthy and speedy L&D for all of us!
