We are officially 38 + weeks. I went to the doctor this morning to get the same old information. My weight hasnt changed so I am officially at 21 3/4 pounds gained. My blood pressure was 112/60 and Emmi's heart was beating at 155. This week we chatted about Primerose oil which is suppose to help soften the cervix and then Red Raspberry Tea which is suppose to strengthen the uterus. He didnt say it was good or bad to do and that of course nothing can guarantee labor. I also asked about when would they start to look at inducing me. It would be the first appt I have after my due date which would be on the 9th. They would bring me in to the hospital to start Pitocin. I have been feeling random contractions so he said that there may not be any warning signs and those contractions could just get stronger and then I would be in labor. Emmi feels a little lower where I have felt a bit of relief in breathing. The doc said that first babies usually drop gradually. So that made me feel better.
This week I have managed to get some meals made and frozen, the house cleaned and then other random house chores. All nesting as Jacob would say. I am not sure if I think the same since I knew I was going to be off this week and wanted to get all that stuff done. My energy level remains high which I think may be due to the fact that I can sleep in as late as I want. Definitely have been enjoying my time off. Since I have most stuff done I will get to just relax going forward. :^)
We have had two days of rain. It stinks because I havent been able to walk like I wanted but on the other hand the Charlotte area was in drought conditions. We were not allowed to water unless it was hand holding a hose. Hopefully this rain will help bring water levels back up.
