I had my 39 week appointment yesterday. Baby Wilt is doing great! I'm still dilated about 2cm. I think my doctor noticed the look of disappointment in my eyes when she told me, because then she said 2-3cm. =) I'm about 80% effaced now which is an improvement...especially after I went from 70% at 37 week to 50% effaced last week! Probably the best news was that she said the baby's head is right there and ready to go. Last week the baby had moved up, so my doctor said she expected to see us back this week at our appointment. She wasn't so sure yesterday and wouldn't make any guesses on whether she thought I would make it until next week or not!
We go back next Wednesday, March 17th, for my 40 week appointment if I haven't gone into labor before then on my own. At that appointment, we'll schedule an induction for Friday, March 19th. It's nice to have that date in mind, so we at least know we'll have this baby by then.
After feeling my belly and measuring it, my doctor estimated that Baby Wilt already weighs around 8 lbs 4 oz!!!!! So, if I make it to my appointment next Wednesday, we will have an ultrasound to check the weight of this big baby! Hopefully he/she decides to come out before the ultrasound next week...and before getting much bigger! =)
Good news overall! The waiting continues...
