@bacorrea I asked him and he said while it's been a few years since he's done OB he recalls that there is some literature out there that suggests earlier repeat cesareans are safer than those done later. I have a hunch though that maybe our planned move was part of the original thought process and now that we are back to square 1 maybe I can push things to 40. No idea though since I've never even met this doc before.

@WombThereItIs Hopefully you can move the c-section date out and this doctor is agreeable, now that your move plan is different.
Good luck to everyone getting cervical checks/membrane sweeps!
Breastfeeding class tonight, 38 week appointment on Friday and I want to ask for a cervical check if I'm still pregnant, because I can't believe I haven't dilated or effaced more (3cm, 70%) in almost 3 weeks by the point with all of this cramping and minicontractions (not BH).

@KMD1106 - my ob never offered to do a membrane sweep this time and I didn't request one because I didn't want to go into labor before my mom came out but I would think by the 38 wk appointment any ob would be willing to do it as long as your cervix has progressed is effacing so I would ask if the ob doesn't bring it up.
@erinh2005 - I never saw my mucus plug this time and I checked for it every time I used the bathroom so I don't think it always comes out before labor starts.

Im assuming I will see if my mucus plug comes out if I'm wearing panty liners yes??
She was able to move my induction up a few hours to 8pm Thursday. I really doubt anything will happen before then, but she wished for my water to go ahead and break and thats what I am now hoping for too.

Immediately after the OB I drove across town to my oncologist and had an appointment with her. Since I'm on a chemo break I wasn't planning on seeing her but I had called last week with questions about some things that freaked me out in my pathology report and the nurse I talked to just suggested I come in. I am so glad I did. Basically my pathology report from the mastectomy showed that the cancer shrunk quite a bit, which is good. However, there were a few other things that really made me nervous, like the fact that it was in 4 lymph nodes (imaging made it look like it was maybe only in 2, and 4 is the magic number of lymph nodes that bumps you from stage 2 to 3) and that it was fairly extensively in 2 of the lymph nodes even after chemo. Anyway despite my worries my oncologist said that she was thrilled with my response so far. She reminded me that I've only done half of my chemo and I still have radiation and then 10 years of hormone therapy ahead of me so the fact that there was still cancer in the breast and nodes isn't concerning or unexpected at all because I'm not even halfway done with treatment. She also told me that she expected less of a response from the cancer in the nodes because of the way they function during pregnancy which is something I didn't know and the fact that there was still cancer there just means we need to do radiation (which we were planning on anyway). Overall I left feeling much better than I have.
Now I just get to look forward to Friday when I see my plastic surgeon and get these drains out!

It’s not that I don’t like you, it’s that I don’t know you. Stranger Danger.
I have my 40 week appointment tomorrow, on my EDD. The last one was 5 days ago, so I'm hoping we've made a little more progress beyond 25% effaced (or whatever subjective call the doc made). My backup induction is scheduled for 41+6 (5/23)... I tried to move it back as far as possible to give this LO more time to arrive on her own. I may/may not go crazy if she waits that long.
