I went to my OB yesterday to see which way little girl was laying. Last week she was breech (butt down). Yesterday, she was transverse (sideways). The OB shifted her to vertex (head down) and then proceeded to describe my uterus in terms that one would enjoy if it referenced jello or homemade banana pudding or even the consistency of perfectly cooked noodles.
Basically, the OB told me my uterus was like a "well worn pair of jeans...nice and comfy," then "floppy and unstable" and finally, "stretched like a used rubberband."
He blamed the twins. I agree. They have a way of wearing things out quickly.
At this point, the plan is for me to buy a pregnancy
I go back to the OB on Tuesday where he will check her again to see which way she's laying. I'll be 37.5 weeks by then and he said something about me getting to around 38 weeks, turning her to head down then breaking my water so that I'll go into labor.
The good news is that I most likely won't go 42+ weeks with this pregnancy. The bad news is that it's looking like, once again, I'll be induced. Which bums me out.
But I'll focus on the fact that in the next 2 weeks it's very likely I'll have a sweet little girl to cuddle, nuzzle and sniff.
Home stretch, here I come. LITERALLY.
Don't comment much, but I really enjoy reading here.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing your new little one soon! & praying that she'll stay head down until then. ;)
Maybe breaking the water will bring on the baby ... without pitocen or gel. Out of 9 births (10 babies) my water never once broke on its own ... and I had 6 babies induced. I would much rather have an induction than a c-section ... so bring on that pitocen.
ReplyDeleteYou can DO IT!
:) :) :)
Either way (although I'm hoping you get to deliver without a c-section!), I can't wait to see pics of that sweet little girl!
ReplyDeleteIs it odd that I all the sudden got this hot flash of (new) baby fever when you talked about snuggling that new little love?? My womb might go on strike till Lincoln is at least 1 :).
Praying for you, friend!!
And is it strange to say I wish I was there to help out in some way??
I tagged you in a Blog Meme. Pop on over to my blog to check it out. (Because I know you have nothing better to do while awaiting baby girl.)
ReplyDeleteHope your Weekend is BLESSED!

Good luck with everything! Make sure to weigh the decision to induce early like that gravely--especially considering your track record 38 weeks may be a wee bit premature for your little acrobat. But whatever happens I wish you the happiest experience. I've only been reading a few weeks, but your positivity about pregnancy and motherhood have been such a wonderful influence on my own attitude.
