Going into labor

I’d say slight contractions started the night of Christmas Eve. Of course, I’d been having contractions for the past 2 months so when I say “slight contractions started,” I mean different contractions… stronger contractions, just enough to make me uncomfortable. And just enough to make us all sure I’d be at the hospital on Christmas day.

Christmas baby? Nope. Steve and I spent the entire day at home because my contractions were stronger and I was super uncomfortable. But

Inducing a late baby and my doctor's thoughts

Due date has come and gone. We went to the doctor on Monday (40+3 weeks) to make sure all was still okay and to see what was going on.

Weight: 146.6 Blood pressure: 112/62

Non-Stress Test: I was having contractions so the nurse kept saying it must be time, but I told her that I’d been having those contractions for almost 2 months. Nothing exciting! My OB came in to check and said “hmm, how far along are

Doctor Appointment: last one?

Weight: 148. I now weigh more than Steve’s little (20yr old) brother, haha. Total weight gain of 32 pounds.

Blood pressure: 110/62

Fundal height: 35 — he’s moving down, she said

Baby’s heart rate: I have no idea what she said. She heard it mid-belly and was worried that meant he was breech (same thing happened last week). I was too focused on that and the

38 week doctor appointment

These doctor appointments are getting boring — in and out! This one was on Thursday, Dec. 10th – one day from being 39 weeks.

Weight: 146.4 Blood pressure: 116/72 Fetal heart rate: 145 Fundal height: 37 (was 34 last week.…. hmm)

She made sure he was in head down position and then guessed he’ll be in the low 7 pound weight range. Lil boy!

She’s hoping I won’t have to come in next week and that I go into

Doctor appointment

We saw our original OB (that we didn’t really like), but it was like night and day – she was wonderful. It could have been because she had a new nurse shadowing her, but… maybe she just gets more excited (=nicer) when baby is about to come.

Weight: 145.4, up one pound from last week Blood pressure: 112/70 Baby’s heart: 140s Fundal height: 34 — lil boy, the doctor said!

We went over our birth plan and she was
