38 Weeks

The countdown continues. Everyone around me have been telling me that I wouldn’t make it to 39 weeks by the way I look. I think I have been taking those comments to heart. At my weekly appointment she started my exam and said “oh wow! She is low! She said her head is right there and you are at 3 CM” I couldn’t help but get excited. I thought to myself “maybe she will come this weekend!” So over the weekend I tried all of the home remedies; walking (a little), spicy food, sex…nothing has changed. I am starting to have a hard time sleeping. She is pressing down so much that I just feel a burning sensation almost every night right when I am trying to get to sleep, I have to get up at least twice a night to pee, and she likes to practice rolling over when it’s time to sleep. I am so ready to meet her and I know that a lot of first time mothers deliver past their due date, so I have a while to go still. Dr. Bartley told me that I can keep coming every week or I can schedule an induction whenever I want. She said that she doesn’t like to do them, but it is always the patients’ choice. I am just going to try to be patient and just go with the flow.
