So after a totally uneventful appointment today, the waiting game resumes. After some long hours and days of contractions, and other unspeakable bodily changes, my body is still doing NOTHING. Sitting at 0%, and a 1. Yep. I'm that awesome.
I hadn't realized this, don't know that they ever actually told me, but I sat at 50%, and a 2, for 3 WEEKS!!!!!!! with the last kiddo, AND still ended up with the induction at 42 weeks. AWE-SOME.
Today she made it sound POSITIVE that she won't make me go past 41 weeks, so although I am sceptical, I am planning on that for now. Keep in mind that will be a full 2 WEEKS after my original induction date. 14 days feels like a REALLY LONG TIME when you are this fat and uncomfortable. A really long time. But, out of that 14, I apparently only have 10 more to go.
The blood pressure was a little high today, so they are having me come back on Wednesday for a blood pressure check, and a non-stress test, and possibly another 'sweeping' of the membranes. TMI, I know.
Feeling fine about it. Just SO confused by my body. I really don't understand why it is SO easy for some people to go into labor, and why alot of people I know seem to have their babies before or 'on' their due dates. I CANNOT FATHOM WHAT THAT WOULD BE LIKE!!!!!!!!!!!! Really, that's like an alternate reality to me.
So tonight I begin the 10 day countdown. Cause that's all I have. Hoping still the little man will make his appearance before then, but realizing from my lovely history, we'll be seeing this little guy in 10 days.
