I had yet another doctors appointment today. Started off with checking my blood pressure which was a little elevated today, but I don't think they were too worried. I told her it was a rough day at work and that is what probably caused the elevation. She listened to Connor's heart rate which was 143. Then off to measuring my tummy. I am still measuring at 36 inches, the same as last week, so I haven't grown any. I did lose one pound since the last visit. Then she check my cervix. I am still dialated to a ONE and thinned to 80%, so there is some progress there. Then she asked the question, Do you still want to go the induction route? I told her yes if he doesn't come by his due date. She asked if I wanted to do it on the 10th or the 17th? So the decision was up to me. I asked her what she thought, and she told me that was totally my decision.(Oh great, I thought) The first thing that popped in my head was that Jayson told me last week, that I better wait until the 17th, because he had deadlines to meet at work. Then I thought that if I have him on the 10th, then all my plans at school for next week wouldn't go as planned. You know me, I have to have everything planned out and make sure everything happens the way they are suppose to. Then I was thinking as much as I want him to come early, the best thing for Connor is for him to stay instide as long as he can. So I told her, lets do it on the 17th unless he comes on his own. I asked her again what she thinks he weighs and she estimated still 6 1/2 to 7 lbs. If she thought he was any bigger, I probably would have opted for the 10th. I just hope I am making the best decision for both Connor and I. I walked out of there feeling so nervous if I had made the right decision.
So now, I am just looking forward to the weekend. We have my schools end of the year party Saturday and having Mother's Day at out house for both of our families for crawfish on Sunday.

Jen whatever you decided would be the best either way, but you can always change your mind if you start to get miserable or not feel well. Just relax and take it easy if you need time off from work take it they will survive. Can't wait to meet him so excited for you guys. ~Traci
ReplyDeleteI think you made the right decision. I'm sure everything would be fine either way...but this way he might come on his own instead of having to induce. Please call or text Billy or I when things start happening. I would love to come visit you guys at the hospital. Try not worry too much...everything is going to be great and this will all be over with soon and then the REAL FUN begins!!! Can't wait!!
