39 Week Appointment

Father B and I just went to our 39 week appointment...I'm really hoping it was our last one! Unfortunately, there really was no change between last week and this week. Still 80% effaced, baby's head is low, not dilated. We went over some different scenarios with our doctor depending on what happens:
  1. Baby B shows up whenever, our doctor will be able to deliver as long as it's not Apr. 3-5, when she's out of town again.
  2. We go to next week's appointment...if I am dilated to a "2," she will schedule an induction on Wednesday, April 1st.
  3. We go to next week's appointment...if I'm still the same as this week, I will have an appointment with a colleague of hers on Thursday or Friday (she only works M/W), and they would schedule an induction on Monday, April 6 (cousin Lilly's birthday!).

I personally am hoping for option 1, preferably over the weekend (27th-29th)!!! Right now I'm on spring break, and if I have the baby during the week, the days would "count" in my maternity leave even though I'm not technically working. However, I'm not really thrilled about the prospect of returning to school on Monday the 30th either. I tied up all my loose ends there on Friday...but of course we all know you can't really schedule babies or anything that happens with kids, so we'll just keep sitting on edge around here for now!

I will not stand for an April baby. The 27th or the 29th are the only acceptable options!! MAKE IT HAPPEN Christie. If You Can Dream It, You Can Do It!!!

Lexi...Is it possible that you are so adamant about the dates...because you are a MATH ALIEN?!?!?

I agree; patience-wise I'm not sure I can stand for an April baby either!

I knew that Math Alien BS would come back to bite me! But yes. It is true.
