Last Thursday I had my weekly OB appointment. So far so good : )
Henry's heartbeat was perfect, my blood pressure was good, the doctor said me and the baby were looking good. We scheduled my induction for Tuesday the 13th. I am curious to see if Henry will decide to come on his prior to the 13th. I don't believe he will. So the plan is to wake up Tuesday morning and be to the hospital by 7:30am. How they start the induction will depend on my cervix. I may or may not need cytotec. Only time will tell....
On another note the doctor checked my cervix. I was closed and soft so I've made no progress in the past week. Looks like Henry is very happy where he is! Shortly after I got home I started to have some painful contractions that went right into my back. They were coming every 2-5 minutes and lasting 15-30 seconds. They stopped after about 45 minutes and stopped just as suddenly as they started. Come to find out cervical checks can cause contractions. I had no idea! I've also talked to a couple women who told me cervical checks caused them to go into labor.
At this point I'm just getting all my ducks in a row. It is hard to believe that I only have 9 days left at the most. I'm very excited and nervous all at the same time. In 2 weeks time I'll finally be home with my baby boy!!
