39 Week Appointment

Yesterday, I was 38 weeks, 6 days and I had my 39 week appointment with my OB. It was at that point in my pregnancy, 38 weeks, 6 days, that I was induced with Gabriel. If I make to Saturday, I will be more pregnant in terms of weeks and days than I have ever been before.

Besides having to wait an inordinate amount of time, the appointment was uneventful. Standard stuff: pee in  cup, blood pressure, weight check, fetal heart rate and cervix check. Everything is fine and my cervix is sealed shut--not dilated or effaced at all. She is still super high up, which is becoming uncomfortable for me.

I asked my doctor again about how long she will let me go and she is holding fast to her 41 week rule. That means if she does not come before December 5, I will be forcibly induced, again. I am praying hard to avoid that and if anyone wants to join me, those prayers would be much appreciated.

So, I go back in one week, assuming she has not come yet and we'll see what's going on. I am assuming that the OB will want to have the induction scheduled when I leave the office next week just in case I go 41 weeks.
