So I have absolutely no progress...still 1 cm, 70% effaced..BUT we did a NST and baby sounds good and is doing good, but I'm having no contractons at alll.. just like I thought. And doc won't let me go too far beyond 41 wks.
And then the doc scared me when he was doing the internal and said, oh.. I'm not sure you're going to be having this baby naturally.. he said my cervix was closed more than it should be....and I said, oh great. And then he said well, let me check again.. and then said, Well, I think you'll be all right I can feel the baby's head so... I would just hate for you to go through labor and then have to go into a c-section! I said, yeah, me too. SO I have NO idea exactly what that means... but then he said, we'll see you back here in a week and I was like, well Sat. I will be 41 wks and he was like oh, yeah..all right, let's see you back here on Fri. And he said that if there's no progress by Friday that they'll probably have me come back in on Sat to be induced! I said... there won't be any progress. He told me to have some hope..haha. I'm running out.
And then I asked if it was normal that I didn't lose my MP yet, and he was like... oh, you did and you just didn't know it....he said he could feel the sac of water, and I was like, well you could of broke that for me! He said... oh, I rooted around in there...
So I guess if our baby girl doesn't arrive on her own by Sat, I will be in the hospital being induced!
Re: 40 wk appt update
That is too funny/weird! It's like her body knew!
sorry no progress but yay for a plan!
ugh, what a long road for you. C'mon baby! well, you know that you will have a baby by the weekend. Sending lots of dilation and labor dust to you!!
That must be so frustrating, Lisa. I can totally see myself ending up in the same position - esp. after all the freaking out that I might go early! I just have a gut feeling I will end up in the 41 week club...
But I am glad there is an end date in sight for you - saturday is actually really close, if you think about it! We're halfway there tomorrow! And we will keep you entertained through the next few days, and hopefully Baby Girl will decide to surprise you and come out on her own....:)
Just out of curiousity, why won't your doctor let you go past 41 weeks if the baby is doing ok?
