Aaaannnnnd, still pregnant. NST was great, and I even had 3 measurable, and evenly spaced, but mild contractions, which is a first in my NST experience. My doc did a cervix check and got me to 1cm (OMG, OW, and I KNOW it’s only going to get totally worse) and did a quick u/s to check fluid levels and the placenta, both of which are looking good. I have another NST on Monday (but it IS the full moon, and when i asked the nurse about that, she said it ‘RAINS babies’ on the full moons), and another cervix check. If my cervix isn’t favorable, I go in Wednesday night for cervidil, and if it IS favorable, I show up Thursday morning. I’m totally okay with it, 41w induction is pretty good for a GD patient, if I even make it there.

Congrats on making it to your due date! You’re expecting an 8-pounder, right? Not that it means anything, but I was an 8 lb 1 oz baby born one day after my due date. (And a good thing, too, since then Bena nd I would SHARE a birthday instead of being one day apart.)
Happy Due Date!!
somehow i feel like i am a kid in the backseat asking “are we there yet?” every five minutes, each time i check your blog.
Good Luck!

Ooh! That hurt that you felt during the exam will probably help things along too! I went into labor the day after my 1cm exam, but I will try to to put TOO much pressure on the widget. Ooh ooh ooh, I can’t wait.
AND, your OB sounds unbelievably fantastic.
Whee! Due date day! Good luck!
Here’s to hoping you guys get to meet your bean this weekend!!!
