Just got back from my doctor’s visit; we saw Dr. Gabel again. He assured me that I won’t stay pregnant forever, but it seems my body is pretty content the way it is for right now and he seems to think they’ll need to induce me. My body has made no progress since the last visit on Friday, and he said that the baby hasn’t dropped into the pelvis yet (which, with a first baby, tends to happen about 7-10 days prior to labor starting).
I have to have an ultrasound and non-stress test tomorrow, but the appointment hasn’t been made yet since everything was closed by the time my appointment was done, so they’re going to call me in the morning. Pretty much, they just want to make sure that the baby’s doing okay because the placenta starts to wear down by now and we want to make sure he/she is getting adequate nourishment. I’m sure everything’s fine, sine Baby’s still moving all the time.
We posted another photo of my belly today…hopefully this will be the last one! Chuck and I are going to go for a walk now…can’t hurt to try to move things along on my own! More info tomorrow…
