Jason and I went to the doctor yesterday for my LAST weekly visit! It's kind of sad, you get used to seeing the receptionists that know you by name, and my nurse who is just so sweet! And just taking the break from work, whether it was once a month, twice a month or every week. All of that has come to a close. If this is my last pregnancy then I will no longer have that to look forward to. Now when I go to the OB/GYN it will be for my yearly...not nearly as exciting!
My appoinment was record fast, it's funny that now that it was my last one they were able to get to me REALLY fast! Last week I sat in the waiting room for over an hour and a half, yesterday I was still leaving my urine sample when my nurse called my name! Seriously? =) My appt. was for 11:40 I was out before noon!
Stats:
I gained a pound (In just 5 days) YIKES!
I am dilated to a 4
I am 90% effaced
The bag of waters is bulging
Dr. Piquard stripped my membranes
Hopefully I'll still be able to beat my induction date of March 10th and go into labor naturally! I would be so happy if this happened! I read up on the stripping of membranes today and found that typically when this procedure is done the woman delivers within about 3 days. So maybe I'll deliver around Thursday or Friday! Maybe not! Either way we only have 8 more days until we meet our baby boy or girl! I still cannot believe I did it, I made it through the entire pregnancy without knowing the sex!!! I SWORE I'd never make it! Go ME!
Stop reading here if you have a weak stomach!
So this morning there was obvious evidence that the doctor had stripped the membranes yesterday. Every time I go to the restroom there is A LOT of mucus and some old blood. That means it worked, we're one step closer! YEAH!
