Today's appointment was OK. I am 100% effaced and dilated 1.5 cm. I had another non stress test that looked great... that is after Baby decided to wake up. The nurse grabbed my belly and shook it and this kid still didn't wake up... but finally did wake up and let everyone know it was doing just fine. The nurse also said I was having contractions about every ten minutes. They are just not strong enough to where I really notice them. All in all I cannot complain because it seems as though things are still happening. Oh and I gained 1 lb so my total is about 29lbs.
We did have the induction discussion. I really do not want to be induced unless I have to, so my induction is scheduled for Wednesday morning the 16th unless of course the baby comes before then. My next appointment will be on Monday where I will once again be checked for progress... then depending on how things look, we'll determine the most appropriate route for induction. I'm hoping if it gets to that point... we can just break my water and that will be enough to get labor moving.
Please say a prayer for me. I am really hoping to meet this baby this weekend! I'm afraid I have done too good a job of making this baby cozy and comfortable.
Have you considered having her strip your membranes? When I was a week overdue my OB did that - hurts horribly, but it started labor in 2 days....less invasive than breaking waters maybe?
