My 40 week Not in Labor Appointment

Well baby still looks good on the NST's which is always good news to me. I kind of stress a little between appointments.

My midwife checked me and I was 1&1/2cm and 50% effaced which really is NO progress in my mind since I was 1cm at 37 weeks. At 37 weeks the other midwife said I was 75% effaced. So I asked about that and she said its kind of a subjective guess with effacement and it can feel different depending on the baby's head. Oh well. I really was hoping that I would at least be 2 or more after 3 weeks but NO!!

She said she stripped my membranes a little but doesn't think its going to send me into labor. She is of the opinion that your body will just do it when it's ready which I kind of believe too so I don't plan on trying all kinds of crazy things to get this baby out other than walking and some squats to hopefully help the baby's head engage a little more. Right now its a -2 station.

So anyway the plan is that if I don't go into labor I have an appointment Monday around noon at which time they'll schedule an induction sometime between Monday night and Wednesday.

Please Please send me labor vibes because I really don't want to be induced especially because my cervix hasn't progressed much. I am pretty afraid of a c-section and worry an induction would end that way.

ETA: Why in god's name to you guys want to be checked at each visit. That was several minutes of holy hell!!! Chat Icon

At my 39 week appointment I was 0 cm, 50% effaced. One week later I was 3 cm, 80% effaced. So it can happen quickly - you never know. Of course, I was STILL induced and STILL ended in a c-section so I'm not a great example!! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon
