Wahoo 34 WEEKS!
I saw Dr Meritt today for my 34 week prenatal visit. I was a bit nervous because I had to take Luc with me and it was during his naptime. He did great though. Everything looks good. Of course, she is still very pleased that I am doing well.
I have been having contractions. They are more frequent and more intense than I had with Luc. I think they are just Braxton Hicks though. I have had a couple of pretty painful ones that have waken me up the past few nights. Dr Meritt told me that she would check my cervix if it would make me feel better. She said at this point, if I do go into actual labor, she would not stop it. I didn't have her check me since 1) Luc would not sit still and 2) if the contractions are doing anything, I don't want to know about it until Brian gets back in town.
So, unless anything changes, Dr Meritt will plan to induce May 17. She will being checking my cervix at the next visit (in two weeks). If my body doesn't seem ready for labor the week before May 17, we will wait until May 24 to induce. While I am so scared of what delivery will do to me this time, it is nice to see an end to this pregnancy and I can't wait to hold this little baby.

so glad things are still looking good. i've been thinking about you this week. also, i'm a lot jealous that you have an induction date!
ReplyDeleteI laughed when you said you don't want to know if there is any progress while Brian's out of town. :-) How fun they are thinking of an induction date, although I will secretly be praying you have to wait until the 24th because then I can join you up there the next day. Either way, I hope it all goes smoothly.
