Soo, I went to my appointment yesterday after a week of walking and doing everything under the sun (which was a Very hot sun last week, I might add) to get this kid here, and I was hoping to have a little progress, I wasn't expecting much, but something would make me feel like I didn't do all that work for nothing.
The Midwife checked my cervix and this paticular midwife informed me that I was not as far progressed as the last 3 midwives had said. In stead of being 2 cm dialated, she said I was a 1 1/2, and in stead of 70% effaced, she said I was 50% and instead of him being at a station 0, she said he was at like a -1 or maybe even a -2.
Someone should tell this woman that you should NOT say such things to a pregnant woman who is now over due!!! She started our conversation by coming in the room saying "well, there is no calander in there to tell him that the due date has come and gone. don't worry, it will come."
She was not on my good side. That comment was befor she even checked me. So after telling me all that I told her I was to be induced on Wednesday. She said, we can set an induction date for early next week. I told her "I don't want to go past 41 weeks, and I would like to be induced on Wednesday." So she said she would go check with the hospital.
So that is it. Tomorrow is the day. And after telling all this to my Mom she told me that it was her fault that I got the genetics and that each of my siblings was 2-3 weeks overdue and my Oldest brother was 4 weeks overdue. WHAT!!! How did I not know this??? You mean I could be pregnant with this kid for 2 more weeks and STILL end up being induced?? That solidified my decision to go forward with the induction. It is not my ideal situation. I really wanted to go into labor on my own, but if I am looking not at days, but weeks more of possibly being pregnant, or working my tail off and walking miles in the heat to get him here.....an induction didn't sound so bad.
So next time you see me, I will have a baby! I will post pictures as soon as I can, so you all can finally see what a boy looks like from our family!!!
