Today I had my 37 week appointment, and I’m just about 37 1/2 weeks along. Dr. says that everything looks great, and Jordan’s heart sounds good! She also let me know that I’m a little bit more than 50% effaced, and Jordan is low- she’s at the -1 station. So that pretty much means that part of me is about half way there, and Jordan’s head is almost at the “0″ mark (even with my pubic bone.) She also still said that if my body is ready at 39 weeks, we can go ahead and induce then! I’d be all for that, I think. The past 3 days have been very difficult for me. I have felt just yucky. Jordan is decending, which is putting tons of pressure on my lower abdomen, and there are bouts of sharp stabbing pain. Dr. says that’s her head ramming into my cervix. Fun, huh? But at least I know now that the pain is just Jordan getting more ready to come out! That’s exactly what I wanted to hear. I’ve been told to walk to help with the decending part, but I’m not totally sure how much I’ll be able to do. I walk pretty slow these days, and it is way hot to walk outside, but maybe I can walk in the morning before lunch, and before I get too tired. Then maybe I can come home and nap! So things are progressing, and the way I’m feeling this week I think I may very well want to induce at or very near 39 weeks. (July 28th) My next appointment is on July 25, so we shall see how ready my body is by then, and I could very well have a baby during that weekend! I’m so ready to be done! (And to sleep on my stomach again!!)
