I saw the OB/GYN today and set our official date for the c-section finally. Through the last couple of weeks, we waffled around a little, and finally agreed on Saturday, April 9 at 9:30 am. I check in at 7:30 am, so I don't have to go all day without eating, which is a plus! That is, unless she finally decides to get with the program and come out on her own!
As of today, her monitoring is looking good still. It is making my doctor nervous to wait so long to get her out, but I really want to give her the time to make it on her own. Comparing Abby's delivery with this one, tonight would be the night I begin contractions at midnight, followed by a failed induction tomorrow and a c-section on Saturday. So, I think waiting until NEXT Saturday for this all to happen on its own is still reasonable.
When she checked me today, I was still at 1 cm, 50% effaced, and in -3 station. I had some contractions during lunch yesterday, but then nothing happened after that. We were hoping that would be the start of something after she's been SO active this week, but no such luck.
Today after coming home from the doctor's office, I just took a nap and pretty much just got up!!!
TMI warning!!!!!!!!!!
Marti has been ordered to help get things started! The doctor said there are prostaglandins in semen that can soften the cervix and get things started. I told the doctor we had been refraining from that part of "the act" since we wanted to try to keep things tidy down there for her. She just giggled and shrugged.
So, for now, we have our orders, and we'll see how that works out.
