Today at lunch I said, “I’m not very hungry. Is that a sign of going into labor?” Obviously joking, it is definitely on my mind!
We have no indication of when I may deliver. Our doctors’ practices are not to check the mother unless she asks to be. And since some moms can be dilated for weeks and some not at all the morning before they deliver, we decided not to have any “checking” going on - since it doesn’t really tell us anything. At my appointment last Tuesday, the doctor did note that I had not dropped. However, my growing soccer ball and increased number of Braxton-Hicks contractions do tell us that having the baby is likely at some point J As I have told many people, I have put my bets on March 29th and Will is hoping for April 1st (No, I’m not joking). But it will happen when it happens and we will let you know!
Top-priority tasks: refresh our memory on Bradley info and pack – labor charts, books, and all – for the hospital! Oh, and relax J We go back to the doctor Monday.
