Oh Conor
Friday we had a doctor's appointment to access this situation. I had my membranes swept (seperating my uterus from the membranes that hold everything in place). It was not the most pleasant experience I have ever had but we did learn that I was 1.5cm dilated (not much seeing I have to get to 10). We also did a non-stress test and learned that you were responding to uterus movements well (I didn't feel most of the movements but that's ok). Later that day I had a few BH contractions but nothing regular.
Saturday and Sunday my mucus plug started falling out and I'm pretty sure by Sunday morning it was 100% gone. But - still no contractions. I'm starting to feel like you might never want to come out.
We have an ultrasound tomorrow (when I will officially be 41 weeks) to review your safety (make sure you have enough fluid around you and that your placenta is still working well and attached). Then on Friday (41 weeks and 3 days) they said they would schedule an induction for the following week (so sooner than the 19th which would be 41 weeks and 6 days). Though I need to talk to them and see if they would consider doing it Friday for a variety of reasons).
I would really rather not have to 'kick' you out so let's get this show on the road! :)
