Had my 40 weeks appointment yesterday. Officially, after verifying
everything, my "real" due date (oh no, another one) is June 3rd, i.e.
tomorrow. So we'll go with that.
I asked for an internal, as with all those strange things happening to my
body I wanted to know if anything was progressing. NOT! Well, the baby's
head/position is perfect and he doesn't seem to want to budge from his
current layout, but aside from that, nothing. Everything is shut tight in
there, even still laying out back.
So I'm now on primrose oil, as I was the last time. Only for my peace of
mind, as it did nothing for the first baby. The midwife suggested homeopatic
treatments, but I am not spending a penny on that.
The contractions have receded since yesterday. Strangely, last night for the
first one in at least a week I slept very soundly. Baby wasn't moving much,
and I only went to the bathroom twice. Wow. I feel energized this morning
like I haven't in ages!
So. False alarm for Mom, who is still convinced I'll give birth today. Well.
Let's hope.
DH is getting very discouraging, saying, whenever I talk about the birth
"Stop, you won't give birth before one or two weeks." I realise I must be
realistic and that it is a possibility; however, is there any room for a
tiny bit of hope? Gee.
Anyway, I made it clear to my midwife that I refuse to go through the same
things I did with Mlle C, and that if on the 10th I am still feeling the way
I am and have not given birth, I will ask for an induction. I have a NST
scheduled for the 8th. Hopefully, I will not have to go through any of that.
Wish me luck,
