This is just a quick update on our 'waiting game'
Today I am 38 weeks 5 days.... so 9 days to go until D-Day! The little stinker wouldn't dare go overdue if he knows what is good for him!
Yesterday I had another prenatal appointment and I was 3cm dilated and 80% effaced, so there has been progress from the last time I went. The doc also did a membrane sweep, which IF effective, will get labour started within 48 hours.
Well it's been a little more than 24 hours, and aside from a lot of abdominal cramping, still no sign of labour, so here's hoping that something will happen in the next 24 hours, or the sweep didn't work, in which case they will do another one if I haven't popped by my next appointment next Monday (a whole 3 days before my due date... please just put me out of my misery if I am still pregnant and have to go to that appointment)
I honestly never thought I would go this long... I thought that because I am small and he has run out of room, and because my mom was always early that perhaps I would only make it to about 38 weeks.... but alas, NO... I have a little procrastinator brewing in my belly, waiting to make his arrival at the last possible minute it seems. (Just for the record, procrastination is his dad's genes)
So, the waiting game continues...
Hopefully the next post will be the birth announcement, and not the "I'm overdue" post!
