40 week Midwife Appointment

Well everything is moving along slowly. I am now thinned more, dialated a
tiny bit more and streatchier.. I dont know how effaced I am or anything
she never tells me but I had my membranes stripped again. Apparently I have
forewaters forming and the mucas plug has stopped being so goopy My
midwife and the OB both agree that since the baby is growing fine and seems
happy to be where he is then we can leave him to come out when he wants to.
They like to induce at 10 days past due and that would be fine with me but
they said since early ultrasounds suggested a due date of 10/26/04 they have
some leway with that so I would not even get them to agree to induction
until November in the earliest! My mom is coming from NH on the 26th so I
dont care what day I give birth as long as it is before then They said a
c-section would be awful for me so they WILL NOT do anything to raise my
risks.. Gotta love them for that I guess

Really, Tori, your midwives sound awesome! I think with the signs you've been
having it's going to be any time. :-)
