38 Weeks

on aug 20th i went for my 38 week check up and i was feeling lots of pressure. dr nethers said that i was 95 percent effaced and slightly dilated. he did say that he could feel her head. my blood pressure was great and everything looked good. dr. nethers said to come back on aug 27th and that he would schedule a day to induce. i asked about my dads birthday which is sept 2 and he said that he is off on wednesdays. dad will be happy lol.

37 Week Check Up

I went to the doctor today for my 37 week check up. Dr. Nethers checked me and said that I am 90% effaced already and then he checked to see if I was dialated and unfortunately I wasn't which was very painful. He then told me that I will probably have spotted bleeding because since I wasn't dialated he loosened the mucus plug. So I go back August 20th, 2009 for my 38 week check up. I am still working which is becoming a struggle. I was hoping to work until I delivered but I am thinking about making next week my last week. I am just going to see how I feel. It is getting difficult to drive, sleep, and walk. I will keep everyone updated. Oh and my blood pressure was great and she was moving around like crazy and the Dr. had a hard time getting her heartbeat, but he did.

36 Weeks

Andy and I went to our 36 week checkup on August 4th, 2009. We had an ultrasound to see how Aislynn was positioned and about how much she weighed and measured. She is head down which is a good thing and she has hair! She weighs about 6 lbs 8 oz. She is measuring 2 days ahead of schedule. I will upload some pictures this weekend of the ultrasound. I must say she is camera shy and loves having her hands in front of her face. I then had an appointment with Dr. Nethers for my first exam. I was nervous but it wasn't bad. I had the strep tests and he checked my cervix. I am already 75% effaced. He said that everything was looking great and that my labor was progressing great. He said that he was proud of me since I have only gained 20 lbs throughout the whole pregnancy! I am proud of myself! I go to the hospital if 1. my water breaks 2. I start bleeding heavily 3. I have contractions every 5 minutes for over an hour 4. mothers' intuition

I go back next week! She is almost here. I am so excited. I think I am starting to get nervous about this labor business. lol.
