Nicki - If you don't mind, could you explain how your inductions went? Did they use cervadril or some other medicine to soften the cervix, or just pitocin and/or breaking your water? Sorry to ask so many questions, but I would really appreciate it!View Thread


I had my 38w (a few days early) appointment yesterday. Everything is going pretty well. I'm still swelling, but the good news is that my BP seems to have stablized. This week it was right at 120/80. I gained back one pound out of two that I had lost last week. Little girl's HB was at 138 BPM. I'm still dilated to a 2 and effaced 50%, so I haven't made any more progress.
The only bad news we got at this appointment was that this little girl is no longer engaged in my pelvis. She was fully engaged last week and is now at a -2 station. My OB said that it was normal for them to "bob" around in there. She said that more than likely, I just didn't have enough contractions this week to keep her down. So hopefully by next week, she will be engaged again.
My OB asked me again about being induced in the 39th week. I told her that I wasn't feeling very comfortable with the thought of it and explained why. She said that it's normal to fear the unknown and explained a little more about the process to me. She told me to come to my next week's appointment and see how I feel. If I'm miserable and want to be induced, we will schedule it. If not, we will schedule my 40 week appointment. They absolutely will not let me go into my 41st week, so I will be induced no later than the 13th (if this LO doesn't come by then).
Sorry this got so long. I hope that everybody has a wonderful weekend!View Thread




Emily - Yay for the good appointment! I hope that you enjoy and learn a lot from your birthing class.
Angie - Good luck with everything tomorrow. I hope that everything goes well. Don't feel bad about slowing down the exercising. I can't ride the stationary bike any more because of the ECP, so I'm just walking too.
I'm sorry to hear about your DD being sick. I hope she feels better soon and that you don't catch it.View ThreadWomen's Health Newsletter
