My 38 week no progress appt
cervix is still "soft" and "beginning to open up" - whatever that means.
oh, wait...there was progress...I gained 6 LBS in a week!!!!!!!!!!! so much for not gaining anymore, although Dr. said it is probably water retention since my ankles look like sausages.
someone shoot me. I am so over this.

Re: My 38 week no progress appt
drink lots of water Mama, too much water retention increases your BP. Water and legs elevated Also doc appts mean nothing, I went in had no progress and had the baby that night

well, it's true!!! Also, if yu want to push things along, like I tell every oreggo woman (and it works!!!) do SQUATS!!!! I did them non-stop starting at 9am and my water broke at 8pm. My SIL worked on L7D and the nurses swear by this method, the pressure of up and down movement makes the bay descend and the ehead eventually puts lots of pressure and will help your water to break Good luck

If it makes you feel better I gained 7 lbs last week - I was told it was all water - as I had bad swelling but a good BP and no protein so they were okay with it. Dr said it often happens in the end. The good news is I lost 2 lbs this week - but still have the swelling - I almost  when the dr said don't worry it will be completely gone within 6 weeks of delivery

Recipe for Squats:
legs hip width apart, feet out, up and down do 10 at a time, but do them all day whenever you remember. I would hold onto the kitchen counter and do them.

Re: My 38 week no progress appt
At my 38 doctors appt. I also gained 5 lbs....then the next week I didn't gain anything, and the last appt. I lost a pound. It was all water retention for me also. Sorry that there was no progress but like everyone keeps saying - it can all change in an instant!
I am now going to do some squats too -get these babies OUT!

You're so close! You never know what could happen in a few days. My SIL had no progress one day and delivered the next. I can happen!
