Current mood: bummed
Well today was my 40 week check up. I had high hopes for this appointment since I was experiencing severe cervical pain last night. I still wasn't bleeding or leaking yet, but I have been having more tiny contractions. Anyways, I went in for my appointment and my OB checked me... sigh... still no progress yet. This kinda bummed me out a bit.. ok ok ok alot. Then my OB said she would try to manipulate my cervix to see if she can get it "going" but she ended up not being able to reach it?? (This is weird cuz she was able to last week... go figure).
Then she checked baby Mia's heart beat and I couldn't believe how human like it sounded. It had the double beat thing and everything. Not like it used to be. Her heart is good and strong.
So whats next?! Well I have an appointment set up for July 10th to be induced at the Riverside Kaiser hospital. Also, they will perform a baby stress test to make sure she is not distressed. Thats about it. Its just a waiting game now...
After the appointment I went home to rest. Then I noticed I started spotting. I am guessing this is from the exam since it isn't heavy and now its practically gone. I am hoping this is a good sign. I have noticed that though I haven't officially "dropped" yet, Adrian and I both noticed that she is alittle bit lower than usual. The cervical cramps are harder now and I have been getting more contractions. I am hoping something is going on and the baby can get thru my "stubborn cervix" (the term my OB called my cervix). Well thats about it. It was 105 today in Wildomar and this heat is getting to me. I have 1 last check up on Monday so we will see how that goes. I will write more when I hear more. As for now I am going to attempt to walk down the block to the mailbox. Wish me luck!
