40+

So yay on the baking and all but poo for her not coming sooner.

NST and OB went OK.

Cervix is still not close to ripe. Stuck at 2cm just like a month ago. Head is no where near engaged. She’s still reactive, good HB, good fluid levels, etc.

Me… less than good. Protien is consistently trace now, which isn’t bad in itself, but the increasing trend is worrisome. My legs are pretty squishy too at this point. I can still see my ankle bones so it’s no where near as bad as with the girls. BP is creeping up as well. Resting it will go as low as 132/82, but sitting up the lower number is hanging out in the mid 90’s.

So the game plan is induction, which I’m bummed about. If she doesn’t arrive on her own, she’ll be evicted in about a week. My induction is scheduled to start at 10pm this Sunday. I asked if we could postpone it any longer and my OB said he doesn’t want to risk it. At this point she should be fine whenever they deliver her, so the game is letting nature take it’s course without letting me get too bad, so delivery at 41 weeks at the latest it is.

Now comes all the planning. My parents will be out of town so we need plans B and C in place, which are not as easy.
