Week 38 appointment
Here goes.
My cervix is thinning, I am 1 cm dilated. This time, my midwife did not make any prediction: I think she understood just by looking at me that if she once again said "a matter of days", I would tell her off (that's what she said the last time). She suggested taking primrose oil and raspberry leaves tea, to make help things start *for real*. She understands that the contractions I'm having now are nothing much fun, and at 38 weeks and 2 days, feels there can be no harm done in helping a bit. I just got back from swimming and it felt really great after a two-weeks absence (one because of my strained ligament, the other because of a tad bit of cold I didn't want to pass to my pregnant friends). I had forgotten how good if feel to float in a large pool of water... And since I got home, contractions have started again. But hey, they can stop anytime, so I'm not getting over-excited. At least, something is happening, and I know it. Isabelle |

I just had mine today, also -- and decided *not* to have my midwife check
my cervix since I don't want to get my hopes up!! I'm trying to convince myself that it'll be at least another 2 weeks and to STOP THINKING ABOUT IT! To make matters worse, I've gained another 3 pounds since last week and feel like a beached whale. :P Hang in there, Isabelle -- we'll get them out eventually, right? Em baby boy, due Nov. 18 |
