Mommies to be check in

Congrats Summer, she is adorable.

Kevsgirl, congrats on finding out it's a girl. Hope everyone is doing well.

I went in for another appt today and I'm almost 2cm. She also stripped my membranes (which hurt like hell) and hooked me up to this maching to monitor her heartrate and my contractions. If I don't go into labor by this weekend I will be having her on Monday. They are going to break my water and then get things going.

I'll keep you ladies updated.

For me it was really painful. They do it to try to bring on labor. All it is is a pelvic exam and she runs her finger around my cervix to separate the sac. You don't have to get it done, this is something we decided because she going to break my water on Monday and she wants me to be at least 2cm. I'm almost a 2 now.

I'm being induced because she was breech a few weeks ago and she scheduled a c-section date for the 29th. The last 2 ultrasounds they did she was head down. They went ahead and cancelled the c-section but asked me if I wanted to get induced. I told her yes because I really didn't want her to have a chance to turn back around. They also don't want me to come close to my due date because they are afraid I won't make it to the hospital in time. My labor with my daughter was only 3 hrs and I made it to the hospital in time to push her out. They are fine in doing it because I'm full term anyway. So, if I don't go into labor this weekend I'll have her on Monday.
