I'm proud to announce that my body is doing some of the right things to get ready for labor. As of Thursday when I went to see our midwife I was 37 weeks, 5 days. Although she wasn't going to check to see if I was progressing until my next appointment, I asked her to check anyway just so I could know if my body was doing anything at all yet. I was 1.5 cm dilated and 70% effaced. Go body! That doesn't mean anything is going to happen any sooner but at least things are happening. She was very pleased with my effacement because that is the hardest part for first time moms apparently. GO ME!
This morning, 6/5 I lost my mucus plug. Once again, doesn't mean anything is going to happen any sooner than my due date, but another sign that the right things are happening. Again, GO ME!
That's all for now, a quick update that she's still in there, healthy and growing like crazy. It's looking like she'll be in the 8-9 lb range so we'll see. Hoping for a smooth delivery!
Yay! I am glad you are progressing like you should be. That is pretty awesome news! Maybe she will be here in a couple days. Keeping my fingers crossed for an easy, smooth delivery for you :)
ReplyDeleteHow many weeks were you when you had O'rien? I sure hope she comes soon!
ReplyDeleteWell it was a little up in the air, because I wasn't sure when I officially got pregnant. With the due date they gave me I was like 37 or 38 weeks I think. However, that usually doesn't happen with first time moms. They unfortunately are usually later than 40 weeks :( I think my due date was a little off to begin with, because in my head I had a feeling his birthday was going to be the day that he came out from my estimates and not the ultrasounds.
