I spent WAY too long at the doctor's office today. That annoyed me because, frankly, I'm due tomorrow. I am just uncomfortable and anxious and irritable. It is what it is. I try to control it and I do pretty well. That said, while I normally spend 20-30 mins on the non-stress test monitors, today I spent a full hour. I'm fairly certain they forgot I was there. I shit you not.
Anyway, the up side of being on the NST for so long was that I got to see all the contractions I was having but barely feeling. This gives me high hopes that I will have another easy labor and delivery. I am trying NOT to get my hopes up because anything can happen but there was one really strong contraction that I felt but it did NOT hurt. This one looked similar to those I remember seeing when I was in labor with my first born. Look!
Once I finally got off the monitors, the midwife checked me and I am 4 centimeters dilated, 60% effaced and baby is at 0 station! That is AWESOME! For reference, I was LESS "ready" than that when I was admitted to Labor & Delivery with my first born and I had her 2 and a half hours later! I know every birth has it's similarities and differences so this could be a fluke but even the midwife was impressed and said I'll probably have a baby by the weekend. I HOPE SO! I am SO anxious and excited and I can't even explain all the emotions. Just...ELATED!
If I have another due date baby I'm gonna be even MORE excited! How cool is that!? It's so rare that I just think it's awesome! In case I don't have her between now and the weekend, I have another doctor appointment on Monday morning, so by then, we'll see where the updated stats are. I hope I don't make it to that appointment!
