I have held the tears

September 4, 2007

So far. The appointment this morning wasn’t quite as encouraging as I was hoping. Although my midwife was able to reach the cervix, the baby still hadn’t quite dropped enough to break the water and get things going. So we are starting to make the next approach plans.

One last ditch effort with a little Castor Oil, just in case (I should add that the cervix is almost fully dialated, as in 8cm) it decides to work this time. Nothing happening yet and that was a few hours ago.

On of the midwives has much larger hands than my midwife so she may stop by later and see if she can break the water (I am so hoping for this). But, she has a birth to attend to first.

I will have an ultrasound tomorrow, after we meet J’s teacher, to make sure all is well with the baby (they do this when you are late, not usually until 10 days past, but we need to do it tomorrow) because…

… if nothing happens we will be induced on Thursday. ACK! Send me prayers folks, I really, really, really don’t want to be induced.

To the Midwife we go

August 28, 2007

And let’s hope this is the beginning of the end. With my fingers tingling and the weight bearing down on my knees, I am honestly about ready to meet this little girl.

If she can’t get things moving today, I will seriously be depressed by tomorrow morning, and may purchase some cod liver oil…

**Edited to Add: It should read Castor Oil up there, thank you Miss Mel let’s hope what worked for your Grandmother will also work for me. And so… the baby has not dropped enough to do anything from my midwives perspective, so she recommended the Castor Oil. As well as crawling around on my knees! If I had known that I would have been crawling around for the last month. Anyhow, I will take the Castor Oil tonight and see if we at least get her to move down enough for a little extra help from my midwife. My fingers are still tingling, bummer.
