Well, I went to my 39 week check up this afternoon and was almost certain I'd progressed past 1cm. I thought they'd certainly tell me that all of the contractions Ive been having and pressure I've been feeling haven't been in vain and labor was going to happen very soon. Well........not so much! What I heard instead was "Yep, you're holding steady at 1cm. and the baby's head is relatively high". Not exactly what I was hoping for, but I know that things can change in a matter of hours. However, I'm not that optimistic... I have a feeling Bagel is happy toasting away and needs at least a few more days. Which is fine, except for the back pain I developed today. I experienced a shooting pain up my back at my desk this morning and it's been sore ever since and is getting really uncomfortable. At first I thought it might be a sign of something - back labor perhaps? But the dr. shot that dream down too - probably just the baby putting pressure on my sciatic nerve. Great!
I do see a light at the end, however. I will most likely be induced on Feb. 28 or March 3rd. I'm hoping for March 3 since my favorite dr. is on call that day. He's also on call tomorrow and the 27th so those dates will work too if Bagel decides to come on his own. If only it was up to me.
Regardless, it won't be long until we get to meet this little person that's been inhabiting my body for the past 10 months. Very exciting!!
