40 weeks 2 days before my appt - Chicken's done!
- How far along? 40 weeks 6 days
- Weight Gain/Loss: no gain or loss this week. Still around 25 lbs total
- Dr appointment: dilated 2 cm, still 50% effaced. I was pretty disappointed not to have more progress but oh well. The dr did another sweep, which caused a tiny bit of spotting this time. We also discussed how baby is holding up right now. I told her that the movements seem not as strong as before and after some discussion she decided to do an ultrasound and NST to put my mind at ease. She feels I'm fine going to 41 weeks and everything looked fine with the test and ultrasound too. she was willing to induce me (I was already 2 days overdue at my appt) but I really want to wait as long as I can. We are planning on calling the hospital Tuesday the 4th at 4pm to make sure they have space for me and I'll go in for my induction. Plan is to start with cervidil overnight which takes 12 hours.
- Sleep: Not great overall. Up numerous times for the bathroom and difficulty going back to sleep most of the time.
- Movement: fewer but still there. Contractions were mostly Braxton hicks, until Saturday night. I was actually able to time them and they weren't too strong but definitely more pain than BH contractions. We went to sleep last night thinking we were going to wake up at some point to go to the hospital but no such luck. Random contractions today, Sunday, and just feel crappy overall.
- Food Cravings: nothing really new
- Food Aversions: nothing new
- Belly Button: partially out still
- Stretch Marks: I actually realized that the redness around my old belly piercing is a stretch mark. We will see how bad it is afterwards!
- Symptoms: ughhhhhhhhhh. Over it.
- What I miss: so much! I also know ill miss being pregnant though so I'm trying to not dwell on the negative.
- What I’m looking forward to: Wednesday! I should have our girl in my arms by the end of the day :)
40 weeks exactly
