I arrive at the doctors appointment shortly after 12. I am informed Dr. Savage was gone delivering a baby, so I decide to see Lisa instead only to have Dr. Savage call in and say she was headed back and I could see her.
First I leave my sample
Second I wait for like two seconds before the nurse calls me back, and she checks my weight 172-175 (i decided i'm not to0 happy about any more weight being gained) she also checks my blood pressure.
I undress and wait for the Dr to finish with the person before me. Another nurse comes in and offers water and a snack! :)
Dr. Savage comes in and I have no question to ask and I have no swelling, I'm just really hoping for good improvement or news of any kind.
She didn't measure my belly this week. So I assume I'm still at 36 cm.
We listen to my baby's heart beat... Something I will miss doing when she is born. The heart rate changed from 152-142.
Last she checks the cervix...
Dilation is now changed. Last week we were 1 cm this week we are 1 1/2 cm.
Effacement is still about the same at 85%.
Dr. Savage says that the babys head is pretty low and that i'm really soft which is a really good sign for labor.
This is where I have to find my Happiness today. I guess I should be happy that I am now 1 1/2 cm dilated and Dr. Savage seemed pretty happy with my results. Am I not so happy because maybe I was expecting a lot more or expected her to miraculously say lets go to the hospital? Guess I just can't decided when I want my baby to arrive.
Next appointment is set for next thursday... guess we will see if we make it to that appointment or get an early surprise.
Good luck! I know it's hard to be patient when your body is so exhausted and you are so ready to meet your little one, but in the scheme of things... you've made it this far... what's another week or two? She'll come when you least expect her. Sending lots of love your way! Call me if you need anything!
ReplyDeleteYou could always wait until your birthday....
ReplyDeleteMy next appointment is on Friday, so you aren't allowed to have your baby and interfere with my appointment!
That would be funny if you have to reschedule your appointment because I was in labor!!!!
