Subject: [2under2] Well.....
I am officially PAST DUE! lol My
due date was Sunday, Oct 10th and here it is Oct 11th (granted its only 20
mins past midnight ROFL). This is new territory for me....I have never
made it to my due date, let alone past it. As of a week ago, I had lost
my mucous plug, was 1 1/2 cm dialated, cervix very soft and baby's head was
"right there." So, not sure what to expect next. My next
appt is Wed with my midwife (no appts were avail today, Mon). Not sure
if she is going to want me to get regular NST's or not? Not sure how
long she will "allow" me to go past due (I do NOT want to be induced again)
and at the same time, not sure how long I am comfortable going past due??
Two weeks would be my max I think....I would worry about something
going wrong and/or how big this baby is going to be!! Tomorrow
(today) I am calling my midwife's office to see if they have any
cancellations and if not, I am going to ask to speak with her.....to ease my
mind (can't wait till Wed lol).
A little background: Justin was born at
38wks 2 days when my water broke (he came 9hrs later and weighed 8lbs
5oz). Sierra was induced the day before my due date (due to
problems with my placenta) and once contractions finally started (hours after
breaking my water and giving me pitocin....she did NOT want to come out), she
came 6 hrs later, weighing 7lbs 11oz.
Because my belly is so big, I have had people
telling me for weeks/months that I will never make it to my due date....I told
them that I definately could and I was right.
Having a strong uncomfortable contraction
right now, but that hasn't meant much before so I doubt it does now. I
have had a quite a few contractions today but nothing regular AT ALL, nor
painful.
Thanks for letting me share! I can't
wait to meet my little guy (Kaden Jay Anderson?...still not sure)
