Any Day now!

Posted on 09/26/09, 10:48 am

Ok so I had my 36wks appointment on thursday. My doc has not been concerened about premature labor at all (guess he thinks I'm exageratting about my previous labors). Well he did the group B strep test and checked my cervix...... I'm 4.5cm dilated, 50% effaced and baby is ready to go!!!! SOOOOoooo anyday now. I've been put on STRICT bedrest NO sex, NO stress (LOL with three kids?) and STAY hydrated. For at least untill I'm full term, since the hospital does not have the facilites to handle premie babies. Doc is not holding out much hope that I'll hang in there that long, but we're going to try. :) He said we have a high chance of a repeat uterine prolaspe and gave us his personal cell/pager number. I have orders to come in at the SLIGHTEST uterine twinge, don't wait for contractions just come in. So I'm home, ready for baby (thank god I prepare REALLY early for everything) and I feel like a time bomb! I'm having painless BH constantly, and my cervix is sore like hell as is my pelvis now that baby has dropped........ I want baby to be full term but I'm really uncomfortable unitll then. :)

  LOL well I'm 38wks and STILL hearing "Anyday now!".......ohhhh I'm so tired of that! I'm still 4.5cm but now 80%effaced and baby has dropped into the pelvis enough that doc said the pain I'm having is the baby's head pushing my pelvis apart a littls. (I injured all the ligaments/tendons in my pelvis a few weeks back so it's VERY loose) Here's hoping baby comes soon!
