Well, I am already 2 cm and I am definitely gradually effacing and dilating more each day. I have continued BH contractions, but every once in a while I can tell that the contracton is doing something. I had my daughter about 3 weeks before her due date, so I figure this one will come a bit early too. I am hoping that if he does come early that it is before the 31st (in time for a tax deduction), but Christmas Eve and Day are off limits. I really don't want him to share his birthday with such a big holiday.
I think my babies will make their grand appearance by this month... But my Dr says that she'll induce by week 38 if they don;'t come on their own... which would be somewhere towards the month end, We'll know more today and how much they weight and how it looks like... but a def answer will be known by week 36 i think.. which is still 10 days away....
Im thinking Sophia will come near the end of December or very early January now, since she is a large baby! Most women in my life have mentioned how they don't think Ill make it to my due date, that I might deliver about 3 weeks early. As long as Sophia is healthy and can survive outside of the womb without any interventions, I will so welcome seeing her before I thought I would! (I know, sonogram could be off on her size but who knows, right?)
I am schedule for a section on the 30th. I tried so hard at my appt Wednesday to convince him to do it the 16th...that would put me right at 37 weeks but he won't. If he doesn't come early on his own like my daughter did I guess it will be the 30th of December. I have been getting pretty consistant BH contractions at least every other day...they will sometimes be less than 5 minutes apart and pretty strong. But, just when I start thinking that maybe something is happening, they calm down and go away.
Im really hoping she comes in Dec, Im getting SO uncomfortable! im due 4 weeks from today, and im going to talk to my doc on tuesday about possibly inducing me at 37/38 as long as shes ready because im really trying to be a big girl and deal with it but I havent had a good nights sleep in like 2/3 months and just hurt everywhere. On the up side when i went in to L&D wens. I was having consistant contractions every 3/4 mins but only dial. to a 2 and after an hour they stoped being consistant. Maybe shell come early on her own.
im going crazy! both my boys arrived within the 36 to 37wk mark and thats any where between Christmas eve and Dec. 31.
i can not wait!
