My OB hasn't checked me at all this time. Early on I was checked by my midwife and a couple other docs we saw. By the time we found The Doctor, he said he could check, but it wouldn't do anything, so I don't know yet. I for sure want him to check at my 36 week appt though if he doesn't look next week because at 36 weeks I was 3 cms and significantly effaced (can't remember how much). A week and a day later, I was 8 cms and 90% when I walked into the hospital! BUT...my preggo buddy at work, was just as dilated and effaced starting at 35 weeks and she was induced on her due-date. So it can totally go either way! I fully expected to stay at 3 cms for at least 3 weeks longer since my mom had all three of us within a day or two or her due-dates. Could have knocked me over when the hospital didn't send me home for false labor!
I'm the "prepare for it so you don't need it" school of thought. I am so stinking prepared for a 37 week delivery that I'll probably still be pregnant in August!!!
What happens if you go into labor spontaneously? They'll just do the c-section that day?
I'm hoping to hold out at least until July 1st too! It seems a nice happy medium between my due-date and 37 weeks. Gets me past some really messy scheduling snarls with DS too! Although if I survive the really ugly week, I'll probably be so relieved, I'll pop right into labor the next day! ;-D
