This song seemed to be my theme song for the last few days. (If you don't recognize it, its Leaving on a Jet Plane). I was told by some friends of mine that I was behind on some things that I should get caught up on. Apparently, I needed to have my hospital bag packed, my car seat in, and my list of people to call or text ready to go about 3 weeks ago. Whoops! I have the list pretty much done, the bag is packed, and the car seat will go in this weekend.
So, I am ready! But baby Cash is obviously not on the same schedule as me. I had my 36 week Dr.'s appt today and it appears that the little man is in no hurry to make his grand appearance. I was dilated to a one (barely) and I was not effaced at all. So, no baby for a little while. Everything else looked good. Heart rate was still great and I gained a few pounds over the last two weeks, which I was politely instructed to do by my Dr. Blood pressure was 100/70 and I have had no swelling...yet.
So I guess we will wait until next Thursday when I go back to the Dr. to see if I have made any progress.
By the way, this whole "getting checked" by the doctor is really not the most comfortable thing in the world. I know it is just a part of it, but dang! Give me a little warning, would ya?!?
The whole getting checked thing... I completely agree, I mean ouch!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, they could at least give a decent warning instead of saying, "This may be a little uncomfortable." Scares me to death for actual labor!
ReplyDeleteohh yea getting checked was aweful!! I am glad your friends got you ready to go this week :) Kyla was born 3 weeks early! so she was born at 37 weeks and I was in the exact same position you are in this week! :) I was barely dialeted! I wish you the best!!
