3 days from due date and still waiting!
I saw the doctor today and the latest news is that there has been virtually no progress since last week. Caroline is head down but still nice and high. We had an ultrasound and a non-stress test today which per the doctor showed that "baby is doing great." Her estimated weight is about 6 pounds, 9 ounces, which was reassuring to me that I'm not going to be having a 9 pound baby!! For now, the plan is to give it another week and see if she decides to come on her own. My next appointment is next Wednesday, and they'll check me again for progress. If she's still stubborn..er I mean "happy"....then we will have to look at scheduling an induction for the following week, still hoping that she will make a decision to come on her own before then. The non-stress test did show that I am having quite a few contractions, some of which have been strong enough to feel here and there, so I'm at least taking that as a sign that SOMETHING is happening. I'll be going on lots of long walks this week (smile)!
