38 weeks today...I think my Girl is quite content on the inside though...
My Midwife made a home visit this morning. She likes to do this so when she comes during labour, it's not the first time she's trying to find the house. I'm planning to labour at home for the 1st part before heading to the hospital...
Anyway, everything is still good...it was a little weird to have an exam in my own bedroom but I've been told to let go of my modesty...my Girl is fine, heartrate about 150 bpm...head down at -3 so still a ways to go...we agreed to do a stretch & sweep...my cervix is central, which is good but still thick...she was able to do a stretch but she couldn't reach the membranes for a sweep...which was okay by me since the stretching part HURT!! Then I remembered that this was nothing compared to what was to come!! Now I am 1 cm dilated & had some bloody show. I felt a few contractions after this but everything has settled down again & now we'll just wait...
I've been off work for a week now...I'm a little bored...I've cleaned everything I can think of...organized all the baby stuff...learned how to use my carseat...packed my bags for the hospital...did my taxes...sent out all my thank you notes from my shower...etc...etc...etc...
And so I wait...always with the waiting...
Bored?? Just rest, Tiara.. You can come clean my house if you want. :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with above. Come clean our room. We wouldn't mind!
ReplyDeleteI hated any cervical stuff. That was worst for me. Here's hoping labor is cake compared to the stretch.
Come on Baby! Let's get this show on the road!! Haha. Hang in there, Tiara. In less than a few weeks you will have your sweet little girl.
ReplyDeleteYou wont be bored much longer... sounds like you are completely ready! How exciting!!! Thinking of you!
ReplyDeleteSo close! You definitely won't be bored much longer, that's for sure!
ReplyDeleteOh I remember that last week or so. Everything seemed so calm and easy. And then life changed and has never been the same. It's a wonderful (sleepless) adventure--you are going to have the time of your life!
ReplyDelete38 weeks! I'm so excited!
ReplyDeleteI still remember (from my OB rotations) how much pain the cervical exams caused - I can't imagine how much a stretch would hurt! Let's hope it got things moving; you won't be bored much longer. *g*
I am so excited for you! And while you are bored - go do things that will be more difficult with baby in tow. Movies, dinner, theatre ... whatever. Enjoy!!!
ReplyDeleteVery exciting!! Any day now you won't be just Tiara, but Tiara and her little girlie!!!
