Hey guys....I'm back....no baby.
He did an ultrasound and checked, checked and re-checked the fluid around the baby (he said he was trying to make an excuse for getting her out early!)
But it was perfect.
My doctor checked me again.... 80% effaced but no change in dilation.
He said I must be "miserable" because she's so darn low in my pelvis. I told him yes.
We're still set for a c-section on the 16th unless she comes before then.
He explained that babies who are not born vaginally don't get the fluid squeezed out of their lungs as well....so the longer they can keep her in there the more mature and strong her lungs will be....I'm okay with that...I just hope she makes it until then now--because I don't want to deal with the contractions and stuff again.
On a funny note--as he was checking the amniotic fluid he looked confused...and then he said--that baby must have the most hair I've ever seen--that's not fluid....he showed me the picture and you could actually see squiggles around her head!
I told him that when I was born, I had hair like one of those troll dolls...and the doctor said--like mother, like daughter!
