Midwife Visit Week 37
Our visit today went well. Relatively uneventful. I've lost a pound and my BP is 120/80. That's high for me but not high at all in general. The Raspberry Leaf Tea I've been drinking is known to raise BP slightly so it could just be that. Nothing to worry about.
We told Stephanie about the hot flashes and pretty consistent contractions I've been having. Still not painful, just strong, but she wanted to check my cervix to see if anything was happening. The baby's dropped even lower, I'm at -2 station now. My cervix is not dilated or effaced at all yet and is still long and posterior. That of course doesn't necessarily mean anything other then that nothing has happened yet. I could not have that change at all for a week, or be 3 cms dilated by tomorrow. There's no way to know. But given the station and how I've been feeling, Stephanie figures another 2 weeks or so.
That's really all that happened. Our next visit is with Judith who we've only seen twice so far. To get in with her though we had to make our appointment for Monday, so we'll be checking everything again pretty soon. Off to drink my tea and do some Yoga. I think I might go swimming on Friday when I'm home, being in the water would be good for me I think.
We met our neighbor's brand new baby girl tonight. She's so perfect. The eyelashes are really amazing. To think, one like that is inside me, just waiting to be strong enough to join our family. I can't wait, I'm so excited to meet you little one. Let me know when you want to come out and play.
