Baby girl is staying put for now and I'm just not sure it's in our stars to not have to induce. I'm even thinking having to induce is hereditary and it will be something even my daughter faces at some point. Oh well, as long as she's healthy, that's all that matters... we'll get to meet her soon enough!
At my appointment yesterday not much had changed. I'm still around 3-4cm and only 60% effaced. She really hasn't dropped and I really haven't had more than a couple contractions since our hospital visit on the 14th. I've been pretty sick the last few days so I'm thankful my parents are in town to help with Drew while I try to get better before having to birth a kid!
In general, not much has changed since my 35 week update so I don't have much to post about. No weight has really been gained, I'm trying to walk a lot to get her to move down and it's just a waiting game in my mind! That being said, if she doesn't come out, I'm leaning towards the 24th or the 28th for an induction. We shall see!
Now I just need this stupid head cold to go away so I have the energy to push her out!
Ohh so close!!! I'm glad my girl decided to make an early entrance and I didn't have to go through this waiting game. Hang in there!! very soon you meet your little daughter!
ReplyDeleteYou're still looking great at 40!! :)
ReplyDeleteYou look wonderful! I hope baby girl comes naturally for you! I was induced with Xavier 2 days past his due date since he was 8lbs and fluid starting getting low. I never had a contraction or anything. Good luck Sarah! Can't wait to see pictures :)
ReplyDeleteSo excited for you! Hopefully she makes her appearance soon and all goes well :)
ReplyDeleteSo close!! Good luck!! You are looking wonderful by the way!
ReplyDeleteAny day now! Cannot wait to see her first picture! Wishing you felt better!
ReplyDeleteMy vote is for the 28th. But I'm partial because that's my birthday. :-) Wishing you and baby girl a speedy and safe delivery--so excited that we'll get to "meet" her very soon!
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing!!!!
ReplyDeleteLooking gorg!! Ahhh...can't wait to see baby girl!!!!!!!! Hope you feel better soon!!!
ReplyDeleteOh man!!! I hope she comes soon!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThat waiting game is no fun! I had to induce with both of mine, but I didn't mind too much. It's nice walking calmly into the hospital. You look great!! I hope you don't have to wait too much longer!
ReplyDeleteYou look beautiful!! Hope you feel better soon (and get to meet her soon)!!
ReplyDeleteWill they strip your membranes to see if that gets things started before going down the induction route? I was 4cm with Lorelai at 39 weeks and facing induction with her but the membrane stripping sent me into labor that day (contractions started within a couple of hours and was headed to the hospital a little over 12 hours later).
ReplyDeleteAidan's 10th birthday is on July 24, so I can fully attest that it's a great day to have a baby. I can also tell you (and Lorelai would agree) that July 29 is wonderful as well. Good luck! XO!
I'm sorry you aren't feeling well :( hope you feel better really soon. You could push towards the 30th too (that's my birthday) ;) hehe! Keep getting as much rest as you can and so glad your parents are there to help out! Good luck these next few days! Will be thinking about you! Can't wait to see that sweet face soon!
ReplyDeleteWell you seem to be doing very well mentally. Aria came a month early and I was already over it. If we decide to have another and they (hopefully) go full term, I'm going to be counting down the seconds. It probably won't help that I'll be paranoid that we'll go early again. Whatever way to have a healthy baby is the way to go though =) Hopefully you feel better soon and can have that baby girl join the party.
ReplyDeleteSOOOOO EXCITING!! ALL CAPS!! LOTS OF EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLooking great! She'll be here before you know it!
ReplyDeleteBummer on the cold!!!Your body must be getting worn out - soon, tho, you will be holding that sweet baby girl!!
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing momma. Hope you get to feeling better!!
ReplyDeleteYou look great for 40 weeks! Looks like our babies may have the same birthday! I went today at 40 weeks 1 day, and I'm not dilated or effaced at all! Trying to decide if we will be inducing on Friday the 25th or Monday the 28th. Hoping our babies get a move on SOON! :)
ReplyDeleteYou look fantastic, lady!
ReplyDeleteYou know me, I'm all about giving baby time to try to come on her own just to make it easier on YOU, but I totally get that it's a head game at this point and you're over it. I had Harvey at 40+4, and after having Stella at 38w, that felt like being pregnant FOREVER. Both of my kids were high until my water broke when I started pushing though, so I'd say don't worry about that being indicative of how close you are to meeting this little one. I echo the ladies above - maybe try membrane stripping, a chiropractor appt, etc to get things going?
You look great Sarah! I'm also hoping to go on my own this time. I was induced with my other two...but I really want to experience going into labor on my own, but my husband would love another induction so he can schedule work around it...I know people will hate that answer! Oh well, luckily my doc is flexible, sounds like yours is too. Inductions aren't bad, at least my two were very easy!!! Good luck and I'll be stalking...can't wait!
ReplyDeleteYou still are as cute as ever! We induced with my son, but the twins came a little early on their own.
ReplyDeleteI hear ya on the head cold. Fighting one now!
Can't wait to hear when she's arrived.
Yikes, a head cold is not good! Hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteC'mon baby girl! Your family is ready to meet you!
ReplyDelete40 weeks?! You look incredible! Fingers crossed baby girl makes her arrival soon! :)
ReplyDeleteYou are super mommy!! Baby girl is tKing her sweet old time. I hope you feel better soon so you can save up energy to push her out!! Good luck!!
ReplyDeletePraying for you and baby girl!
