40 weeks 1 day...
Hmmmmf.
We had our 40 weeks 1 Day appointment today, didn't really get great news...
There is absolutely no change from last week, except I lost 1 pound and my blood pressure was better.
The doctor said, "I'm pretty sure you won't be seeing us again next week..." and then proceeded to make an appointment for April 18th, and scheduled a Biophysical Profile and Non-Stress Test for the same day. He said that there was no medical reason for an induction, yet, and I have not progressed far enough on my own for an elective induction.
So we're still baking.
Hope everyone is having a nice day! I wish it was at least sunny out so we could go for a walk....

38 weeks 3 days
Doctor's Appointment
Ahh yes, we're still baking :)
BP: 122/80
Weight: +0
Belly Measures: 39cm
Fetal Heart Rate: 145bpm
1 1/2 cm dilated
80% effaced
-1 station
So we're getting closer. I guess all the walking I've been trying to do is helping... I guess I'll keep doing it :) She didn't say much other than that she'd see us next week... unless.... :-)
Next appointment is April 3rd.

37 weeks 3 days
Our internet was broken for most of the day...
Not much has changed at the doctor's appointment today since last week...
BP: 120/80
Fetal HR: 143
Belly Measures: 37cm
Weight: +1lb
Still 1cm and 50% effaced, but baby has moved another cm down into the pelvis... NO WONDER I CAN'T WALK!!
Dr. Said we're definitely on the way, but it could still be awhile before things really get moving... And she rolled her eyes when I told her what the other doctor said 2 weeks ago about the "larger than average" baby... She said, "There is absolutely NO reason to think that..."
Found out that I am Group B Strep positive, which just means I'll be hooked up to IV antibiotics once I get to the hospital... not really a big deal, just that you're not allowed to move around with an IV at Magee, so I'll have to stay in bed once I'm there...
So we're in good shape still... but I'm still going to start doing jumping jacks, riding down bumpy roads, eating pineapple, etc. Ha ha ha. Being that it is so hard to move around, I'm feeling like a beached whale... at least after the baby's here I'll be tired, but actually able to move a little bit easier... I'm not used to this enormous belly... I swear that I haven't been so skinny in my legs and butt and shoulders in a LONG time, but my belly is just so huge.
Oh well... small price to pay... for a little while longer!
