I'm Currently Feeling:  |  39 wks appointment !
The baby is doing great, haven't dilated more (still at 2cm) and they didn't get my preeclampsia results yet! I also gained 4 pounds in a week (bad bad bad) and I'm quite swollen.
The appointment went well, it was a med student who examined me and she was such a sweetheart. My doctor suggested a membrane sweep which I agreed to. Can I say OUCH????!!!!! omg, it was the most painful thing. Hopefully it will make things moving, she said it should in the next 24-48h and she was very positive about it.
I really hope this is it! |

P.S. What happened with the Hep B test? | Well she said it would still be better to do it... When I asked why she couldn't give me an answer! Anyways, she said I can have it done once I go into labor, which is fine I guess... |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Little Update: I've been having strong contractions, however they are not regular ( 3-4 of them in an hour, then none then 2-3 again (repeat) ) I'm having A LOT of pain down there and lots of period cramps. I've used my birthing ball a bit and bounced on it, it's sooo much fun!
OH and I have cleaned the entire condo + floors etc. in case things starts!
I'm really hoping this is gonna work! |
