40 wk appt - I have an eviction date

cedentoncedenton member
in August 2012 Moms

Had my due date appointment with the doc today.  Between the doctor, DH, and I we all did some negotiating and this is what we came up with:

  • Cervix check & membrane sweep today
  • NST on Wed.
  • Induction no later than Friday the 24th 

I didn't really care about the cervix check, been refusing them until now, but they kind've come with the membrane sweep territory.

2cm dilated and he said he could feel the head.  The check and sweep were definitely uncomfortable but it was REALLY quick and not bad at all.

I had some spotting/bleeding afterwards which is to be expected.  Pretty crampy, too, up until just recently.

Fingers crossed for this to move things along!!!

ETA: Oh, yeah, and my doc wrote me off of work as of today!!

    Yay for the day off work!

    What are your induction plans? Pitocin right away, having your water broke, other?

    I asked that my water to be broke first ,delay Pitocin as long as possible , and the doc was okay with that.

    If my cervix isn't ripe, they'll do a ripener the night before.

    I wanted to give it to the 27th, but needed to consider my husband's feelings, too, the doctor's warnings were making him nervous.

    I won't talk to my doc until Monday about what she wants to do since I am overdue.  I don't mind right now . . . it has been 9 months I can take a few more days.  

    How did the acupuncture go?   I am guessing not a whole lot of action since you scheduled all of this.   Good Luck either way . . . LO may be here this weekend!

    Well, technically the only thing that's scheduled is the NST on Wed.  I would prefer to put the induction off until the 27th, but the doc isn'y comfortable with that and, therefore, neither is my husband.  I'm trying to keep DH's feelings into consideration, as well.  

    Doc said they don't do inductions on the weekends.  Don't know if "they" is the hospital or the practice. 

    I felt the membrane sweep at this point was my best chance to "naturally" get things started (doc agreed) and avoid medical inducement.  Might schedule another one for Mon. or Tues. if nothing happens before then. 

    Acupuncture can take a day or two to have an effect, and I couldn't really put any of this off so...doesn't mean it couldn't still work, though I guess I wouldn't know if it was the acupuncture or membrane sweep or nature.

    Good luck with everything. Hopefully your little one will come well before the 24th, but at least you have a date now!
