Due Date 3 Days Away
By Sailorswife » Posted Mar. 19, 2016 9:51pm - 377 views - 1 comment
With my due date just days away (technically my 2nd due date from the size scan, my original one was March 10), I'm getting a lot of the "you're still here" comments from other parents, neighbors, and my husband's coworkers and such. I have been 3 centimeters dilated and fully softened for over two weeks, also lost my mucus plug two weeks ago. I've had a week of morning sickness type stomach trouble, and tons of stronger longer BH contractions. I had false labor this past Tuesday night (luckily this isn't my first time around the block, and I knew what to do to see if it was false or not), but this didn't bring me any closer to seeing baby, as it was confirmed the following day at my appointment that I was still 3cm's. I just laugh that this little one may not come until April Fool's day. I'm complaining somewhat, but I'm also kind of okay with it. She'll come when she's ready, and when she's ready is the best time for her to come. I had a scare back in Dec. that I forgot to write about because I was on Vacation, but the week of Christmas I had bleeding that sent me to the Labor and Delivery ward from the ER. The doctor's couldn't find where the blood came from, and it had stopped. They have theories of what could have caused it but don't know for sure. After having that scare that I thought I was going to deliver her so early and that she possibly wouldn't make it, it's made it easier to wait for her now. I'm so thankful I didn't lose her. Those moments in the hospital, and the look of fear in my husband's eyes, and then finding out the bleeding had stopped and our baby girl was healthy, makes every day carrying her a blessing. I will however be very excited when she does decide to make her way into the world….. after I get through all the pain of labor, lol. Still hoping and praying for a med free natural vaginal birth.
