Appointment on Tuesday at 40 + 3. Hoping I deliver before then, but neither of the other kids came until 40 + 3. Normal stuff and possibly talking induction.
Baby girl has her two week checkup on Wednesday (hoping her weight gain is good since we've been struggling with feeding), and I have my 2 week pp checkup on Thursday. One spot on my incision looks a little puckered and the glue is kinda coming off there, so I hope it's not starting to pull apart. I really want to be cleared for driving and light lifting because I'm going stir crazy in the house!
I have an appt on Tuesday at 40+1 for 'the works'- routine appt, NST and u/s. still hoping not to make it bc I've been having irregular surges all weekend, but nothing is picking up in a pattern so we shall see. Still hope for an edd baby tomorrow. Also chiro tomorrow.
Regular OB appt tomorrow @ 39 weeks and another growth ultrasound with the mfm on Wednesday. The mfm didn't think I would still be pregnant when we made this appt, but here I am lol.
I have my 6 week PP appointment tomorrow and I think I'm going to cry haha. I mentioned before that I feel attached to my OB now since he helped bring my son into this world and have developed a relationship with him. I counted on him through my whole pregnancy and SO MUCH during my hospital stay that it truly makes me sad that I won't be seeing him anymore. I ran out of time some how and don't have a card or picture of baby J for him like I planned to have for tomorrow. I'm hoping I can get my crap together earlier enough to get them.
Totally not baby related, but I also have to go to the endocrinologist with DH on Wednesday to learn how to inject testosterone into his butt!
NST tomorrow. 39 week appt on Wednesday and another NST Friday. Hoping to find out whether my midwife will let me go past term or induce at 40 weeks. Hopefully she will let me go past term or my husband and I are gonna try all the old wives tales! I really really want to avoid being induced.
41+1 today and I had the ultrasound portion of the BPP this morning. Baby scored 8/8, so she's all good in there. NST and checkup with my midwives on Wednesday (41+3). If I make it to that appointment, I will absolutely be asking for a sweep. No waffling about it this time.
Just came back from my 39 week appt, cervix lowered a little bit and I'm at 2cm. When my ob did the check and told me 2cm, she continued to jam her fingers up in there and I felt like I was going to pass out from the pain and pressure. I asked afterwards if it was normal for this check to be significantly more painful from last weeks check, she said it was because she was stimulating my cervix. I'm not sure what that means, but she said to definitely expect cramping and spotting. I totally believe her since I had instant pain and spotting when she was done, ouch!
Now I just have my growth scan on Wednesday and after that it's back to twiddling my thumbs and waiting.
Had my 39+1 appointment today. I'm dilated! Only 1cm but it is better than last week which was a big 0. We go back on Monday for my due date appointment there they plan to do a NST and a growth scan. We'll also discuss options regarding possible induction/c-section depending on his size. I asked her if I was probably going to be pregnant next week and she said yes.
Had my weekly yesterday at 39+4. 2 cm, 80%, -1 station. Midwife said baby is sitting really low and she's surprised I haven't gone into labor yet. Membrane sweep, but no action as of yet today.
Not exactly an appointment, but I went to a breastfeeding support group today and Lucy had only gained 3oz in 5 days. They want her to gain an ounce a day. I feel like she's on the boob 24/7 so I just don't know what else to do. Hoping for better progress next week.
Just came home from my growth scan with the mfm. Baby is still measuring larger at 40w5d and 9lbs10oz, but due to accuracy variances it's not a big concern. The only concern is that her head is measuring a little over 42 weeks and they will need to examine my pelvis & feel around baby's head, if I make it to my next ob appointment Monday, to make sure that my pelvis can accommodate a vaginal delivery and we'll go from there.
Her torso is measuring 40w2d and her femur is measuring 37w, so it looks like she's going to have my longer torso and little legs with her daddy's head
Other than her size, baby is doing wonderfully having scored an 8/8 on her biophysical profile and is just as spunky as ever, which is always great to hear
Good news! I'm at 3-4 cm, 50% effaced, and head is LOW! She did a membrane sweep. I was about this with Max and he was born less than 48 hours after the membrane sweep, so if Samuel behaves, we could have a baby as early as Friday!!!!
I had my 39 week appointment today. I declined a cervix check again. Midwife said there is no reason for me to not be able to go past my due date so she giving me until 41 weeks to go into labor with a tentative induction date of 5/3.
Hopefully baby will be here before May and I won't be induced.
38+4 today at my OB appt. 2cm and 80% effaced. She said that the baby will not be arriving today, but could happen anytime after today. I told her I would like at least until next week to get stuff done, and her response was "maybe, maybe not".
38+4 1cm and 50% effaced. I'm taking my big test tomorrow ( here is hoping my bladder cooperates) and after that I plan on walking a lot! We talked about getting an induction date set for the first week of May after my due date 40 weeks + since that would work best for my family situation. Nothing set yet but I'm excited to start doing more things I can to get labor started after my test is done.

no cervical progress so it looks like my hope of a vbac is over. Csection scheduled for Monday.
