Ding! 40 weeks!
Today's news:
* 3cm and thinned out
* dr said "he's right there"
* ultra sound showed good fluid levels and a squished baby
* non stress test came back good and his heart rate did what they wanted it to do - go up and down at least 3 times in 15 minutes. I was contracting a bit but didn't feel it.
* induction set for 5am Monday March 22nd if no baby before then. She again said I'm inducible and that she hoped that she wouldn't need to use pitocin to get my contractions going. Apparently pitocin is what makes induced labor harder - it makes the contractions stronger and closer together than natural labor I guess. So hearing that she thought I wouldn't need that is good news. She hopes that the meds used to soften and dilate the cervix will be enough to get my labor started.
Having an induction set puts me strangely at ease. Being such a planner I really find comfort in knowing that there is a date set and an end in sight. Don't get me wrong, I won't sleep a wink on Sunday night!
