This is very good, as I was afraid I'd be the same as last week. I was close to tears waiting in the exam room. I'm feeling nauseous again, bad heartburn very night and the baby is so low that I get stabbing vagina pain every time he moves his head. Needless to say, I was hoping to have progressed since last week (2cm & 0%), which I have. Hooray!
This part is the most frustrating. I could have a baby by tomorrow morning... or four weeks from now. The doctor did say that I am progressed enough to be induced at 39 weeks, but I think I'd wait until at least 40. Definitely not going past 41, I will request an induction before then.
However, I don't think I'll make it that long. I'd much rather go naturally, but I'm not against an induction.
The doctor also said that this labor will likely be quick, which is common for second deliveries, but not a sure thing. Still, once I'm pretty sure I'm in labor, I'll be heading to the hospital straight away. I'd prefer an epidural and don't want to miss my window.
Harrison's labor was only 6 hours and 2 of that was pushing. Makes me a little nervous for this one, since it is likely to be a lot shorter.
I am ready, though! So ready! Let's do this!
Also, Harrison likes to hug "the baby" (my belly) and give him kisses. This has been completely unprompted, I think he's excited to be/have a brother.
Harrison picked out a snazzy new watch. He likes to show it off.
