40 Weeks DUE (tomorrow)

Alright, so I’m due to have this baby of mine tomorrow, 1/14. It doesn’t appear that it’s going to happen. I just got back from the doctor, and while everything checked out great, there isn’t too much activity down below. The doctor says I’m about 2cm dilated, 50% effaced – whatever that means. So I’m getting there, but I’m guessing it won’t be tonight.

The doctor said that we could schedule a labor induction next week, Wednesday, 1/18 or we could do an ultrasound that day and schedule the labor induction the following week. I asked about any pros/cons to waiting and he said it really didn’t matter at this point, so I took the labor induction for next week. A light at the end of the tunnel!!!

Sometimes a labor induction progresses things so slowly that it sucks, but I’ll start preparing for that mentally now. I’ll also keep my fingers crossed that it just happens between now and then on its own.

I was late with Julia as well. I did get scheduled for an induction, but she came on her own 2 days prior to the scheduled date. PHEW!

I’m generally feeling great. I have a little bit of swelling in my feet and ankles, but that’s about it.
