34 Weeks 6 Days

Everything looked good at my appointment this morning. Baby passed his UBP easily again. I am measuring at 37 weeks (whoa!) according to the old fashioned tape measure on the belly test. My blood pressure was up slightly, but doc didn't seem too concerned. She checked my cervix and said that it has softened some but is not dilated yet. Good news!

I signed the consent for VBAC. She said again that they will not induce me but may be able to augment labor a little with Pitocin if needed. She said if my dilating stalls at all or I don't progress then we will do a c-section. Also, we'll still do the c-section on Nov 14 at 38 weeks if things look good at the amniocentesis.

I feel extra swollen today in my hands and feet. She said I should rest and put my feet up. Like that's going to happen with a toddler at home!

Not much else happening here - still no name. I am going to force Ben to help me decide this weekend. It's driving me crazy not knowing. I'll keep you posted.
