Steady Progress

Good news! I'm up to 80% effaced as of today - still only dilated 1.5 cm or so, but the doctor was happy with my progression, and said I was moving along well. He also stripped my membranes during the exam, which was uncomfortable, but will hopefully help things move along. They also told me they wouldn't let me go more than 1 week overdue, which made me feel better. I really don't want to be induced, but the thought of another whole month was awful. However, the doctor said he didn't think that was going to be a problem for me. Yippee! Maybe we'll have a baby here soon....

Hi Erin,

So glad you won't go over your due date. Also, glad you didn't have to make the run to the hospital in the last two snow storms. Sounds like it has been a rough couple weeks. Praying for you all.

I am excited for you and Tom! I remember well the feelings of 'counting down' the days until the blessed event! You will look back with fondness even these uncomfortable days. She will be in your arms and then moved out in a flash...enjoy every moment, even the uncomfortable ones. Easy to say from the one who isn't in her 9th month of pregnancy!
