37 1/2 Week Appointment
Posted: 10-12-06 07:55am

I'm 1 cm still for 3 weeks now. My cervix is still softening. The baby has dropped more. He said her head is really low. He said that she's done doing what she needed to do, now it's up to my body. He said that if I progress by next week or the week after we can talk about inducing if that's what I want, if I don't progress anymore then he'll wait until i'm 2 weeks overdue before he induces. Ahhhhh!
Ava needs to come on her own within the next week or so. This is getting aggravating. I'm ready to meet her.

I had my baby at 37 weeks. I would'nt rush it, ya know? I would've rathered her be in the womb for a couple more weeks instead of being born at 6.8lbs.

I know it's horrribbbllee and you're dying!!!!! But, .Ava's chillin. She's in *no* rush to come out yet!!!

If I could've waited 2 more weeks for .Oni to be born...I definately would have!! I thought I was in false labor, but I had her within 3 hours of getting to the hospital!

Good luck! And just take this time to sleep and relax!!!!!!!

I hope she comes soon! I can't imagine having to go 2 weeks over. I'll probably cry if that happens to me. Tell her you're evicting her and she has to come out now. Try bribery!

My appointment is this afternoon. I won't get checked for dilation but if i'm still measuring ahead i'll get an ultrasound and we'll take it from there (i hope that means induction). I'm hoping i'm still measuring large!

It was my doctor that brought up the induction. I would rather it happen naturally. He predicted that i'd more than likely have her in a week on my own, but if not then induction may be an option. I'll just wait and see.
I hope she comes on her own very soon. My mother-in-law is sick with chemo from lung cancer and she's in the hospital.
My brother is going to jail for 45 days starting next wednesday for some mistakes that he's made. He's the godfather too.
I want them to be able to see her soon.

I am sorry to hear about your .Mother-in-law, how awful and your brother. I do hope that you do have an easy delivery, I know that waiting can be rough but you at least don't have too much longer and I hope that you have some good support standing by. Keep us posted.
