Well, poop.
I feel great, not in a rush to have this baby. He's been a big boy this whole pregnancy. He measured big at the anatomy scan, consistently larger fundal heights, big at a growth scan at 34 weeks... I know he's big. Today at my MW appt, she gave me a worried look and said, "I'm worried he's really big. You're only 40 weeks and I'm thinking 10+lb right now." She offered me an ultrasound, which I declined. I don't need them to push me to an elective c-section (which I'd refuse) and I don't want to have the scan hovering over my head while I'm in labor. I know he's big.
I'm 1cm, 50% effaced and -2 station. I had her strip my membranes vigorously. My husband and I went for a long walk up and down stairs. I had my chiropractor adjust me. I don't know what else to do. I'm not going for the cohosh or the castor oil.
I need uplifting stories about big babies and successful membrane stripping. I need some encouragement, ladies. I'm freaking out a little. I really don't want a c-section.
The good news is that I'm crampier than I've been in more than a week... Not really cxns, but it's something.
