08-10-2009 - 36 Week Update

My mood while writing this blog: hungry

---

I had my 36 and a half week update on Wednesday. All is well with the baby and me. I've gained 2 lbs which makes me 161 now. BP was normal and not high..135/80. GBS test was an absolute breeze. Very fast and easy. Then she went to check my cervix for dilation and it was a fingertip dilated..which really means like half a centimeter. I was glad. I mean it was progress from last week when I went to L&D and they told me it was still closed. Not much progress, but hey better than nothing right? She also told me that she wants to see me every week now. Earlier she'd told me I wouldn't come every week until 39 weeks. What changed that..I have no idea? So I guess I'll get the cervix checks every week now and I'm just staying active and optimistic & progress for more progress each week. I am so ready to meet my sugar foot!

Anyway, I'll be 37 week tomorrow so today I'm purchasing some fresh pineapple, red raspberry leaf tea, evening primrose oil capsules & oregano. Has anyone tried this stuff to get things moving downstairs? I am not trying to make myself go into labor. Just merely hoping that some of this stuff can help my cervix start softening so that I can dilate more. Along with this stuff I am going to continue using my pregnancy ball and do tons more walking each day on the treadmill.

That's it for now. Congrats to everyone who has recently had their little snuggle bunnies. I'm praying my son will come soon.

You probably don't have to worry too much about progress or trying to got things moving-- don't you have an induction date? Or do you want to go before that date? Either way, loads of luck. If you really want your cervix to "ripen" semen is the best for that, LOL!
