LAST PREGNANCY UPDATE: WEEKS 37 - 40
I gave up keeping track of how I was feeling the last few weeks! So I am just smushing it all into one small update!
I went to an appointment at 37.4 weeks, and I was dilated to a 2 and 75% effaced. He said there was a good chance that I would go into labor on my own within the week, but wanted to see me back in a week if I didn't have him yet. This week was the longest week of my entire life! I kid you not! I went to bed every single night thinking that it could be my last night being pregnant. And every morning I would wake up and just think dang it! Since my last update, I have not been sleeping good. I cramp throughout the entire night, and have a few strong contractions when I wake up, but once I get out of bed they go away. and it has been like that for almost 3 weeks!😩
That week I just felt really down in the dumps, like deep down, because I was expecting to go into labor that entire week and I didn't. It was just one of those things that really got to me, because I figured I was so close. Like that week sucked!
At 38.3 weeks I had my next appointment! I was for sure thinking that there was a good chance that he would start me since I didn't go into labor. (I'm not about the natural life, so if there was any chance in getting started early I was going to take it!) So I went and he just said everything looked good and that he would see me in a week. Like the most disappointing appointment ever! He said that they normally don't induce labor until 39 weeks. So that was a huge let down.
Well now a few days have passed and we hit 39 weeks but no baby yet! He must be to comfy in there! Our due date is in exactly 1 week, so if he doesn't show up by then, I might just freak! I am just so anxious to meet him! And I am the most impatient person ever. I am feeling lots of stress on my stomach just from walking around, which is a good sign! I am also cramping a lot more also!
Well surprise he is here! I never finished typing this up (what a shocker), but I am planning on doing a labor and delivery post but we will see how things go! Thank you to all who kept up with my pregnancy and read through my posts! It means the world! It has been the longest but shortest journey, and I couldn't be more in love with him!
