Another eventful doctor's appointment ...
So today's doctors appointment was quite eventful and thank goodness DH was there for it.
First: i'm almost 4 c.m. and 80% effaced. She says I have a very "favorable" cervix and baby is in the perfect position for labor.
Second: My doctor was totally shocked on how much my belly grew in the last week ... she is guessing the baby is nearing 9 pounds!!!
Third: The doctor is really worried about the baby getting too much bigger and me having a hard time with a vaginal delivery
Fourth: She stripped my membranes to see if it would get labor started on its own, otherwise I have an induction scheduled for Thursday.
I'm kind of having mixed emotions right now. I was really hoping to go as natural as possible, but at this point I'm pretty nervous and doubtful about that happening being that he is so big. She mentioned that she doesn't want to think about a c-section and wants me to try to go natural but doesn't want to wait any longer because baby will only get bigger which will make it all more difficult.
Let's just hope the membranes stripping works and I go into labor soon.

Re: Another eventful doctor's appointment ...
You're making a lot people really jealous right now. JK, sort of
That's great news! Maybe since you're progressing so much on your own, you won't need to be induced. A lot could happen in a week.
I can't believe you have such a big boy in there!!
Ohh maybe you'll be our first July mom! That's great progress! Hopefully stripping your membranes will jump start your labor and you can avoid induction.
*Labor dust*

That was quite an eventful appointment. I hope that the membranes stripping works. *Labor dust* If you don't mind me asking, did it hurt?
Not gonna lie though, reading about you July mom's getting induced and such scares the pants off me. I know I am behind by a few weeks, but not by much.
Holy Crap!! This is what I was just thinking.
