My 40w2d appt.  

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
Baby is doing fine and so am I. I'm measuring 41cm. We didn't do a vaginal exam. I don't think I could handle it if I was nothing. I can't feel my cervix which bothers me. DH tried last night but he couldn't feel anything either. I don't think he quite knows what he is supposed to be feeling for though.
We discussed induction options. He can sweep my membranes, break my water, or start pitocin. We can start with the least invasive and work our way up until something works. He offered to sweep my membranes then but I said no, not yet.
If I make it to my 41w appt he wants to do a NST, but he still recommends some type of induction at that point.

We'll just have to see what happens. I'm really tired of being pregnant and that I was going to go early.

Hang in there! I am 41w3d and was told at 37 weeks I should "go any time". I haven't had anything done yet...we did do an NST at 41w and our little guy is fine.

The waiting drives me nuts though! Hoping for progress soon!!!!!!!!!!

Im only 40wks and they have already scheduled apt.s for nst's and bpp's and my mom is freaking out (see the 40wks and my mom is annoying thread!)

DS2 was born at 41weeks with no problems whatsoever. Just hang in there!

Ive never yet met a woman who was 50wks pg. so I know this baby will come out eventually!!

Hi Sashabear,
Sorry to hear you are getting frustrated. My midwife already had me do a BPP two days past my due date, can you believe it? I have an appointment with her tomorrow, and we'll discuss induction methods. {sigh} I just hope this baby comes out on it's own (yours too!) :
