Glad they all seem to be doing well. Sounds like the 32 weeker is a tough little trooper!

Back from my appointment! 90/60 BP, Ivy's heart rate is in the 130s.

I am still 1cm dilated. I'm also 70% effaced and -1 station.

Is that about the same as you were last time?

Had an appointment this morning and when I went to leave the truck was gone. MIL lives next door and allows us t share her vehicle. I thought I had told her about the appointment but I guess I didnt. I was supposed to get my GBS test done, discuss my birth plan and check my protein levels again but I had to reschedule... I was looking forward to this appointment cause its the one that determines wither or not they induce or let me go into labor on my own...   

Quoting Tish baby2cute ~BAB~:" Is that about the same as you were last time?"

Yup. I was 50% effaced from 30 weeks up until now. The midwife said she believes I'm not dilated more because I keep taking the Zofran to stop myself from throwing up. That's what has been causing me to have contractions and dilate throughout this pregnancy. She said I could stop and just let myself be sick... Maybe once I hit 38 weeks.

Aww that sucks! Hopefully you don't have to wait much longer for an appointment.

That sucks, maybe they can get you back in quickly so you won't have to wait that long.

So in a couple of weeks, you would be good to go? I bet you're excited.

I rescheduled for today at 410 pm with a different doctor but im not sure If I can make it in. I have a hard time making it to afternoon appointments and I dont know where MIL has gone or how long she will be gone. Usually if she goes anywhere its an all day thing  

Quoting Tish baby2cute ~BAB~:" So in a couple of weeks, you would be good to go? I bet you're excited."

Yeah. She said I could be induced at 39 weeks if I changed my mind about induction. I'd rather wait.

I don't blame you. I think it's so much better when labor happens naturally, all though it doesn't work that way for everyone. I know my doctor wants to schedule a c-section between 39-40 weeks. She doesn't want me to go overdue considering all the surgeries i have had, increasing my chances of something going wrong. I don't want to schedule yet, i just want to let things take their course until that time comes.

I feel you. You still have quite some time to go, as well.

Quoting Moi H*:" I feel you. You still have quite some time to go, as well."

I know, that's why i feel it's too soon for my doctor to start scheduling anything. We don't even know what may happen between now and 6-7 weeks.

I'm getting excited- I didn't think it would happen, but I just found out that I am going to have a little Baby shower for this baby. About 10 of us girls are going to The Melting Pot next Thursday for girls night! I think it'll be super fun ;) I wanted to celebrate this baby like I did my first two but I didn't think a full shower with gifts and stuff was appropriate nor necessary. Yes so excited
