still here. Have another appointment tomorrow. I'm going to ask my Dr. if they're going to start monitoring me and the baby, since I'll be overdue in a couple of days. That sounds like I'm a library book or something. Whatever. Anyway, the baby's been big the whole time, and my placenta had started to calcify when I was in Moncton at the hospital, but nobody was concerned about anything because I was going to go into labour any minute. Guess what! My baby's a jokester, and seems to be in this for the long haul. The membrane sweep didn't really seem to do anything, I'm not sure if it was related to the mucous plug or not, but either way, has done nothing to get things going any time soon. Anyway, I just want to make sure that everything is still ok with the baby, that he can stay in there safely until he decides to make his grand entrance. I'm concerned because the reason they usually induce at 42 weeks is because the baby is getting so large, and your uterus and placenta aren't able to provide everything the baby needs as effectively, because he's supposed to be the heck out of there. I'm worried with the way things have been going that I may be at that point sooner than 42 weeks. We shall see. I really don't want a medical induction, so I keep walking and using my balance ball and hoping something will happen soon. He's still moving around a fair bit in there, I'm keeping a close eye on that.
I'll update again after tomorrow's appointment.
