I had my 39 week appointment today. I had an ultrasound last week because the Dr was worried about baby's size. The ultrasound report came back with good results and show the baby has grown well and is within the normal range. At my appointment today everything is normal: bp, baby's heartrate and my weight gain but when he measured my belly I am still at 36cms! He did not like that there was no still apparent growth in the last 6 weeks - I am concerned about this too...
Then, he did an internal and said I am still at 2cms my cervix is ripe and baby hasn't moved down any further from last week...he or she is just waiting there for who knows what to happen. So, because he is concerned about growth...he said the u/s was good but it doesn't tell us much about how and when baby is growing... and since I am only a couple of days away from my due date he wants to induce to get things started since he seems to think my body is ready and just needs a bit of a push.
So, tomorrow morning at 7:30 he wants to start with gel on the cervix and see how things go from there. I am excited to know that tomorrow's the big day and it's nice to be able to make arrangments for J without being in the midst of labour. B is excited that we are not in limbo waiting on baby. I am very nervous about being induced. I hope and pray all goes smoothly, quickly and that baby #2 arrives safe and healthy!
Wish us luck
