The doctor's appointment went well today. Blood pressure is good. Haven't gained weight for the past three weeks. Heartbeat is good. My belly was the right length. Nurse Christi examined my cervix, which didn't hurt at all like when Dr. Sawyer does it, and it was completely closed for business! Is that how the saying goes? ...the cervix is still very thick and closed.
We talked about the induction. If I don't go into labor before Tuesday, which it doesn't seem like I will, I am to call the hospital at 10pm to see if they have a bed for me. If they don't, we'll get further instructions then. If they do have beds, we will go in so I can start the induction process by taking Cytotec pills. Nurse Christi said it will be a longer process where I'll have a lot of time to rest. She recommended taking a nap on Tuesday and eat a light meal.
Dr. Sawyer gets back on Sunday so I will up my walking from an hour a day starting tomorrow. Hopefully this will thin the cervix a little. I feel like if I get induced, I won't be fully experiencing the labor...I'm probably wrong but I really want to do this on my own.
FOUR days or less!
