39 1/2 weeks

4 more days until my big due date hits.  So far, all is still well.

Just came from my weekly check up.  Everything is still going along quite well, just like it has forthe other 30+ weeks.  My weight and BP are still good.  No swelling to be worried about.  Nothing at all to be concerned about.

I have another weekly appt next Tuesday.  If I make it to that appt then my midwife said that we will do a check to see where my progress is.  Then a biophysical exam (ultrasound to check viability of the placents, baby’s growth, amniotic fluid, etc) to make sure baby is still doing well.  once that is done, then I can have the option to just wait it out.  If it comes up showing any signs of the baby not doing as well as it could then we’ll take a different route to get this little one here.  But I will be induced no later than Friday, May 22nd when my midwife is on call. 

she asked me how I felt about induction.  I told her since I have no personal experience with it I really don’t know.  I certainly don’t know much about it.  And what you hear from those that have had it done, the information varies so it’s hard to know what to believe or whatever.

So I don’t know what is going to happen.  She is hoping that the whole biophysical exam and/or induction will become a mute point within the next few days.  She thinks it will be, I don’t have a real feeling one way or the other on it. 

So for now I just take it day by day.  Only have one more day to wait until my Mom will be here to stay until the end of the month.  Then I won’t have to worry about what is going to happen with the boys if nature takes it’s course.  All I know, is eventually I WILL give birth!  lol
