Dr. Schad decided to check me to see if I have progressed any since last weeks appointment....NOPE! Nothing! I am the same as last week EXCEPT the babies head has moved further down into my pelvis to -1 station (you can see babies head at about +3 station he said) which explains my EXTREME discomfort when walking and explains my back pain as the baby is sitting right on my spinal cord basically!
We discussed our options and our only option this week was to have Dr. Schad strip my membranes which is NOT fun but totally worth the discomfort if it actually puts me into labor! Dr. Schad said that the stripping of the membranes will work within a couple days if my body is ready to go into labor, if my body isnt ready, it could still be weeks! Well...weeks it will NOT be as IF I havent gone into labor by next weeks appointment we will be discussing me being induced! I would much rather go into labor on my own but since that isnt happening, I will be induced if I need to be!
Babies heartbeat was random in the 130's and Dr. Schad estimated that the baby is about the mid 8 pound range! Yep...looks like we will have a monster size baby on our hands compared to our little peanut Bentley! LOL :)
Until next time...hopefully we will be posting a picture of our sweet baby boy or girl!
