The End is Far…
I had a doctors appointment on Wednesday. Turns out my baby who was so excited to get out… is not so excited anymore. So the end is no longer near the end is far. For those who may be confused as to what “Near” and “Far” mean, here is Grover to explain. Keep in mind.. the baby is Near… the Baby is Far.
It just goes to show you how near and far can happen so quickly… and be a bit annoying.
So as far as the update goes, my doc says I am just a little bit more thinned out and a litte bit more dialated, she is also sitting just a little bit lower. Take “little bit” for whatever you will, I didn’t ask for details. It was just disappointing all around, (for Jess too, he had hope for better news).
They did strip my membranes and no it doesn’t hurt! I think the women that complain about it hurting are also the women that ask for an epidural as soon as the first contraction hits. What was uncomfortable was the 24 hours following as mild cramping turned to heavy cramping and heavy cramping turned to irregular contractions. After the first 24 hours things have settled. All pain has seemed to fade and the contractions, though still very irregular, are slowing down as well. They seem to be fading back into Braxton Hicks. Which is ok, considering those are opening my cervix with little to no pain.. Woo-hoo! The more Braxton Hicks the fewer real ones I say. I should have been counting them. That way when I am in labor I can be thankful that I didn’t have to experience those as real ones.
In other news, for those of you who guessed that I would be having this baby after June 16th… YOU’RE WRONG! (the doc will induce me no later than the 16th) Sorry, so feel free to guess again. And for those who guessed May 30th or before… sorry, I really did try to have this baby! Promise!
