The waiting game..

So I had my 39 week appointment this morning. Had another ultrasound to see if baby has gained anymore weight. She's gained a half a pound and is now in the 85th percentile instead of the 95th like she was 2 weeks ago.. they are now saying that today is my due date instead of next week! But I'm not dilating at all and I'm 50% thinned still. Her head has dropped and she said its not going to get any lower until I go into labor. Its just all confusing in a way about my due date now.. I'm just ready for my little girl. But I guess its a waiting game.

Hang in there ladies! I was 50% and 1cm when I went to my appt last Thursday. Ended up going into labor Friday morning. At 10 am when they checked me I was 100% and still 1 cm. Within 3 1/2 hours I went from 1-7!!! Things can happen so fast! It's all worth it tho!!!

They were thinking about induction for me 2 weeks ago. The dr still wanted to do induction but I'm not dilated so she wants mother nature to take its course. Mine is measuring almost 9 lbs now but they don't think ill need a csection. Good luck with yours I know I'm nervous as well about pushing her out

I just came from my 39 weeks appt. They are saying my "little girl" is going to be over 9lbs. And I should schedule a csection or she could get stuck and dislocate her shoulder. Which scared me but everyone is suggesting I try to push he'd out but I'm scared of hurting her. She's measuring in the 100th percentile. R they talking about inducing you. They want to induce me Friday morning.

thats odd they would change your due date at the last minute like that. I would still go off the fist one though since that is the one you have had all along. But I am due tomorrow. Good luck to you. Hopefully you meet your little girl soon. I know I cant wait to meet mine.
