I am really hoping that my doctor says that something has changed. Although I am not miserable (since my swelling went down) I just really want to see my little baby girl this week hopefully. Thanks a bunch and I will update when I get back from the doctor today.

Rylee was one week late and I had to be enduced.
I hope that you get some good news.
Let us know.

OKAY, here goes the update...

So I went to the doctor today and she said that my cervix was still thick, BUT the baby has came down more, so that's good. And I am going back on Thursday, but she said feel free to go into labor before then. I wish! Anyway, after we see how Thursday goes she said if I have thinned enough that she could break my water and induce my labor but I think I want to wait (as impatient as I have been I still want to do it by myself). But we will see, she said on thursday she was going to check the fluid, I am assuming to make sure the baby hasn't used the bathroom in there. So I guess I will have more news by Thursday unless I go before then...(please, please, please *fingers crossed*)

By Annie2 on Monday, May 16, 2005 - 09:39 pm:

That is good news. On Thursday do you mean she will strip your membrane? If she breaks your water you'll have to be admitted.

I know the end is tough with the not knowing when, where, how....you're doing great! Hang in there, it won't be too much longer!

By Rayanne on Monday, May 16, 2005 - 09:46 pm:

It's almost here sweetie. I know what you mean about wanting to do it on your own. I had to be enduced with Rylee and am hoping that next time, I can go into labor by myself, since it will be my last. Good luck sweetie, and keep us posted.

Candis, by checking your fluid she probably means making sure you have enough amniotic fluid. They can't check for meconium until your water breaks. I was a week overdue and my fluid was low. Even with the baby urinating (which they do ) if wasn't keeping my amniotic fluid levels high enough so I was induced. She may strip your membranes or...I was induced the first time with prostaglandin gel. It's a suppository that helps soften and thin things out. You have to be monitored with a fetal monitor for an hour or so and then you can go home. I was back at the hospital 2 hours later.

It's getting close for you!! Can't wait!
