Well, we are in the home stretch! Hopefully come Wed. I will be holding my lil' girl! I can't believe after literally almost 10 years to the day of losing my first I will actually be bringing home a baby...Some days it doesn't seem real and not sure it will til she is in my arms...
I am being admitted on Tuesday evening to start Cervidil. I have not progressed past 1cm so hoping Cervidil works and we can go ahead with pitocin Wed morning as planned. He told me I am in for probably a very long/hard labor but am still hoping to go as long as possible without pain meds/epi. I also was told by a nuts that they wan to break your water immediately when starting pitocin and I asked my Dr not to to give me a few hrs to see how I progress on my own because I dont want to be put on a time clock for c section for that 12 hr window. He said he will work with me an d that he will not put me on a time clock like that as long as baby and I are doing ok so that made me feel a lil better. I guess we will see...
On another note, I still cannot function without Zofran
missed my night dose the other night because I felt great but was not feeling great at 3am when I paid for not taking it Even with it I am still barely eating but am drinking so that's good. Dr said I needed to try to get in some protein shakes or smoothies. I asked did Tropical Smoothie count he said yes for sure! So I have had two smoothie this week which were very yummy. Started having some BH again and been very tired all of a sudden and not feeling as great so am hoping my body is trying to prepare its self too.
I will post update/pics after she is here
