Re: Tuesday Appointments
BPP scheduled for Friday to check fluid though I'm sure there's plenty since baby keeps rotating in there.
OB said I wouldn't make it a week but I don't want to get my hopes up. DD was born at 39w exactly so hoping it's soon.
BFP: February 2016 EDD: October 17, 2016
BFP 3.8.16 EDD 11.20.16
Good luck tomorrow!
Had my 41 week (blah!) apt this a.m along with NST. Everything with baby and I is fine. I'm still at 3 cm and soft, but cervix "thick". Had another membrane sweep and scheduled induction for next week Monday a.m. (41w + 6 days). Clearly hoping I will go into labor spontaneously prior to that.
Best of luck today J14 mamas!!
My OBs will let me go until 42 weeks so long as baby and I are doing well. I was given the choice today to schedule for this week Fri or Sat, or Monday. I chose Monday because I would REALLY prefer to go into labor spontaneously (I've done it both ways- DS was induced and DD came on her own).
As is customary, baby wouldn't cooperate during the NST. Since it was my last one of the pregnancy, in addition to apple juice they brought me chocolate covered strawberries, chocolate cover marshmallows and some nice, salty crackers. Hurray for NSTs when someone is having a birthday in the office!
GL to everyone else with appts today and to those with inductions around the corner!
Absolutely nothing is happening haha. She said she will see me back on Tuesday (I will be 40+2) and she doesn't expect to have any changes then either. and so then we would set a time for an induction for June 22nd.
Mmmhmmmm June babies = they come way too early or they stay way too late!! Haha.
Good news I am GBS negative! Woo!
My weekly appt. went well. GBS test came back negative, baby sounds and measures good, and I am 1cm dilated which is a very small improvement from last week when I was "closed up tight", but LO is still up high so we probably won't be meeting her for a while, yet. I know 1cm doesn't mean anything, but it still felt good to see some progress, no matter how small.
My OB said they won't start talking induction until I am 40 weeks and would prefer I make it to 41, which is fine with me - I really don't want to be induced if I can avoid it.
I'm having a c section tomorrow. Baby is huge and not in a good position. Two doctors and a PA all agree that this is the safest route.
I'll have a baby tomorrow. Holy crap!
The long story:
My appointment was eventful today.
While we were driving over, the doctors office called asking if I could see the PA that works closely with my doc as he had gotten backed up. Sure why not. (I loved her, BTW. She was so thorough in her explanation and really made me feel at ease.) She wanted to send me over to the hospital but they were full.
After consulting with a doc she sent me for a stress test, then I saw another doc to go over everything (still not my doc) he was very happy with the baby on the NST, but not happy with his position. We talked a lot about induction and c section. He felt that the baby will not be changing position to be able to fit through the birth canal (kid is huge). His head is down but on the wrong side of the pelvic bone, he'd have to back up and then come back down. There was a technical term, I can't remember.
I was given the option to try for a vaginal delivery or go straight to a c section. Then my doctor finally came in. We talked more. He had the same opinion as the other doc and then the PA came in. She shared her experience and agreed again with the two doctors. Basically they all said that they would be happy to start an induction, let me labor up to two days, but I'd most likely move to an emergency c section. That would cause a lot more trauma to my body and potentially the baby.
So H and I agreed, we are having a c section at 12:30 tomorrow. I cried, but it's what my gut is telling me is the best for both baby and me. My doctor reassured me that the potential for a VBAC down the road is high, so there's that. I can't eat after midnight tonight so I plan on eating all the food between now and then!

@crhein26 I bet they do! Good luck! I hope your induction isn't eventful and all goes well!
