So I went to the doctor today for my 36 week check up today...got some exciting/frightening news! The doctor said that I'm 3cm dilated and 90% effaced! For those not up to par on medical terms, I'm including an illustration.
She thinks that I'm not going to go all the way to May for sure...she gave me about 1-2 weeks or so. If we have to induce because of my blood pressure, it would be super easy because I already have a head start. Otherwise, baby is healthy, heart rate is going down though and was 140 today. My blood pressure was 140/90 again today, right on the edge but not enough to concern the doctor completely. She said the higher blood pressure is normal at the end of pregnancy and there is nothing I can do about the swelling except for delivering...
Now we feel the pressure to get the car seats installed and those last few baby items.
I'll keep updating as the news comes along!
