So last week I went to the dr and we had quite the mix up with my due dates and about how things were progressing. To say the least I was really concerned, and confused.. He had my due date 10 days sooner than what we thought, and he told me I was going to be having the baby before the 20th, and if I didn't we scheduled an induction date for the 22nd of November.. So today I went back to the doctor, this time taking James because of the concerns.. Well, it turns out my due date I had was right, not his.. But, I dilated another cm and a half in one week and says by the end of the day if my contractions continue i'll be at a 4. James being a man asked him "so what is the highest you go to? A 5??" the dr kinda laughed and said "when Lyndsay is at a 5 she will be here with her water broke and she will be in active labor, and then added it is a 10 when you are fully dilated". So what does this mean??
I am on meds to stop my contractions and I'm on bed rest... He said as he walked out the door "I'm praying I don't see you before your next appt on Monday, cause if I do you'll be having this baby". I did get an ultrasound and the baby is measuring at 6.5 lbs which he says could be plus or minus a pound and a half. He said it was too late to put me on steroids to help the baby's lungs because he is pretty sure he is going to come before the meds would really work.. Not such a good thing to hear when i am only 34 weeks and 3 days pregnant.. Lets just pray that the medicine helps my contractions and I can wait until at least next week to have the little guy.. Even longer would be great!! :) But until then, I am hurrying to go through the cloths and getting them washed and packing hospital bag.. Just to be safe..
We'll keep everyone posted on what happens!
