I had yet another appointment today, but with Dr. Edwards. Mackovic had an emergency, so I had to have an appointment with the other doctor. She’s very nice, so that’s a good thing. She may be the one to deliver the baby, so it’s good for me to know her. I would rather have Dr. Mackovic, but at that point, I may not care!
So the report from this doctor is: Baby is still around the -1 station, I’m still around 50% effaced, but the biggest change is that I’m a bit more than 1cm dialated! This is a very large improvement from last week, and could be the reason I’ve felt so aweful. The bad news, however was that the doctor anticipates me coming in for my next appointment on Tuesday of next week. (August 1) I was so hoping they would say it looked like I was ready to go this weekend, but I need to be more effaced for them to induce. The past 2 days I have felt really bad, and have just been sitting around wondering when all of this will be over. My stomach has basically ached for 2 days now, most of the time, and I have 0 energy. I’m having trouble sleeping because I’m in pain and just uncomfortable when it’s not actual pain. Plus it’s been quite warm. Thankfully we have good AC in here, but it still gets warm.
I’ve been taking walks every day since my last appointment and I am hoping to high heaven that something will come of that! I am just so ready to meet this little one, and so tired of feeling like I do! But the end is in sight. It’s hard for me to be positive today, but I know it will all be over- sometime, if not as soon as I want it to be…
