Happy Friday ladies! I hope that everybody is doing well.
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!

It can still happen at any time. Don't be discouraged that she is not engaged. Things can change quickly. Hope you have a wonderful weekend too.

Hi Taryn!
Sounds like a good appointment overall. Sorry your little girl in not engaged anymore, but she still has time to move into position! Hopefully things will start progressing for you on their own and you won't have to worry about being induced. Take care of yourself!! Won't be long now!

Hey Taryn. Glad you had a good appt and that your BP was down. I agree w/Teresa and she her head can engage at any time. Your almost there!! Oh and just remember that induction is not the end of the world. I prefer to be induced. Going into labor scares me to death...lol.

Thank you ladies! It's so exciting that we are so close.
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!

Hey Taryn!! My inductions went great. W/DD I went in the night before for the cervadil. They also gave me an ambien to help me sleep w/was great!!!! The next morn I was dilated and effaced (I don't remember exactly how much) and they started the pitocin. I remember when I had dilated to 5 they broke my water and I got the EPI. I was in labor (from the pitocin) about 5 hours and pushed only about 15 minutes before she was here. I want lie....the contrax were horrible, BUT mainly because the Epi didn't work for me. W/DS the Epi worked and I really didn't have that much pain.
Let me know if you have specific questions and I'll be glad to answer. Hugs girl!!!
