Q: I Get Checked Tomorrow
asked by: newmommy07 on January 7th, 2008

Tomorrow I go to The Pregnancy center to see how far I'm dialted (I've been at 3cm for the last week), then all the regular stuff like belly measurements and height/weight checks. If they offer to strip my membranes again (had that done last week), then I'm going to take up on the offer because if that throws me into labor it would be great! If not, then I have to go to my induction at 8am the following day, its already been scheduled. I'd rather the stripping of the membranes work so I don't have to get pitocin. We will see how it goes tho. So for sure on weds I will be having my baby. I'll post all about it then, wish me luck! Smile

Good luck. And just an FYI...I went into labor on my own and still had to have to pitocin because I wasn't progressing.

Good luck. 3cm is a GREAT place to 'start' at. FYI, you do not have to be induced. You have the right to say no to that. It is an OPTION that you can refuse unless there is some medical reason you need to deliver immediately (but it doesn't sound like this is the case).

Hopefully, you'll be 4cm and you can just get your water broken Smile That will start the contractions!

Good luck!
