I had my 39 week midwife appointment today. I went in not expecting much as I was not progressing at all at my previous few appointments. I was feeling a bit 'off' today and having some irregular contractions going on, but I didn't think they were amounting to anything. I was surprised! I was 2 centimeters dilated, 50-75% effaced, the baby is way down low, and she stripped my membranes! We'll see what happens!
Nothing really going on since then. A few very spaced out sporadic contractions, but nothing to call home about. We'll see! She said she'd be very surprised to see my at my next appointment a week from today. Not totally shocked, but definitely surprised.
I'm hopeful. With Isaiah I wasn't dilated or effaced at all before I went into active labor, so really it could be any time now.
I'm sure since I said that it is jinxing me to definitely go overdue, but let's hope not! I'm ready!
The only downside to delivering this weekend would be that I'd have an ENDLESS train of relatives coming to visit, most of whom I've only met a time or two.
Its my FIL's retirement party tomorrow and everyone and their brother is going to be in town.
If that happens I'll be booting people out of my room constantly. I only am staying for about 24 hours, and during that time I want to be able to rest, bond, get the nursing going, and not have to worry about passing my brand new baby around to everyone and their uncle.
