It's 3am here now... it was 94 degrees (yesterday) and I've just been lying in a pool of sweat all night long - figured I'd get up and get something to eat - not sleeping well anyways and since I'm home now, I can nap whenever I want. It's a full moon tonight. Wish that meant something...
Had my appointment with Graham. BP was GREAT! 120ish/70ish. She decided to strip my membranes and it didn't hurt as bad as I thought it would. I was pretty much the same as last week (I think.... she didn't give me all the numbers).
Last week: fingertip dilated, 50% effaced, -1 (ALMOST 0) station
This week: 1cm, very soft, VERY low ...but after she stripped me she said I'm a GOOD 1-2cm now. She told me to expect some spotting from broken cappilaries on the cervix - but it's been ~11 hours since the appointment and ... nothing.
Lots of BH, but that's the same as it was before. Not even an increase in cramping... so maybe it didn't do anything at all ???
Belly measured 35 weeks today ... getting smaller as she drops further...although I'M not getting any smaller... I'm up to 184#...that's 3 pounds from Friday to Tuesday... Total gain = 52#
She did indicate that I won't likely be going all the way to my due date ~if~ I'm okay with induction. I told her I'd very likely consider it. I know there are lots of cons and what-if's with induction...but I've also heard TONS of good things... our hospital uses cervadil before pitocin and of my 3 friends who've been induced this year, none have needed to use the pitocin - the cervadil did the trick.
My platelets were low on Saturday so they rechecked them today - I'm guessing the problem would be hemmorhage during delivery if they're too low...
I go back Thursday again at 3:40pm.
