I am officially on maternity leave! So far...I love it!
I went to the doctors today and I am 3 centimeters dilated!! I cant believe it. The OB said that I could go this week. If I don't then she can schedule me to go in and get induced. I didn't say anything at the time but this is not what I want. I want to let it happen naturally. As long as baby is doing good - and she is - then I want to go into labor and not get induced. I feel like a lot of doctors like to schedule it for their convenience. I don't see why I would need to get induced before my due date anyways...especially since I had IVF. I know my due date is right on the money.
I didn't say anything to her but next doctors appointment I will if its brought up again. Besides I am 3 cm's!!! I bet you she will come on her own. Doc also said that my cervix is still posterior which means that its still far back...supposedly it moves towards the front (anterior) when the time is closer to giving birth.
I am getting excited!!! I have my bags packed and they are by the door....it can really happen any day now!!!
In other news my sister in law just announced that she is pregnant with her second. I am happy for her, I really am. But I can tell you that it hit close to home. See, she announced that she was pregnant with her first about 3 days before my wedding (to the entire family, extended and all). So of course on my wedding day I had all my family talking about HER pregnancy on MY day! So the fact that she is now announcing it once again right before a major event in my life it makes me feel like I am being trumped yet again. I know its petty and silly but with everything that I went through I would have loved to have her wait a few weeks after I gave birth. Not for nothing but she didnt even go to the doctors for a blood test yet....so she is only like 4 weeks pregnant. Like I said I am happy for them but I just wish it didnt have to be this way, yet again. Oh well!
On to focusing on the real task at hand...having this baby! :)

Oh gosh! I would be peeved too! Some people just lack that "tact" switch in their brain, I'm sure it has nothing to do with you, she probably just doesn't think about things any further than how they affect her.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, yes, focus on you and baby! I'm so excited for you :D
yay for 3 cm! :) looking forward to hearing about the arrival of your little angel! :)
ReplyDeleteI understand your feelings about your SIL. I would feel the same way! Upstager!
ReplyDeleteYay for being 3 cm dialated! That's amazing that you're that far and didn't have to work through contractions for it.
I also don't want to be induced. It's such a harder labour, and since I want to do it with absolutely no drugs, I don't need a harder, more painful labour!
I'm waiting for your announcement!!
Congrats on Mat leave!! Hope the baby comes soon! How awful of your SIL, how freakin' rude! Doesn't she know what you've been through to get here? Its times like these that I start thinking that awful things happen to those types of people so they can experience one shred of what I am going through. VENT Sorry. (((HUGS)))
ReplyDeleteYou're almost there! I doubt you'll have to be induced if you're 3 cm already on your own.
ReplyDeleteHow rude and annoying of your SIL!!
Yay! You're a third of the way there! I share the same kinds of feelings as you in regards to inducing. It's best to just let it happen on it's own. Can't wait to hear your news!
ReplyDeleteYour so close!!! Can't wait to hear the big news!
