I saw Dr. Falzon today- she said I am dialated by "a fingertip" and while on the monitor it showed 3 contractions (one of which I could feel). At least some of these cramps have been productive! Blood pressure has been good for a few weeks now, 100/60-something but today they checked it twice and it's a bit more elevated, at 120/68. I also gained 4lb in 5 days! But it's just a lot of water my body has decided to hoard. Can't believe I tip the scales at 210 1/2~!
Tomorrow is a routine 10am ultrasound to check amnio levels.
Afterwards, Maureen will be in the neighborhood so we plan on some spicy Thai for lunch!
On Tues. the 10th I'll have to produce, for the 3rd time, a 24hr urine sample & have an ultrasound at the hospital which will include a fetal stress test.
I'll be going in for "an attempted birth" courtesy of some drugs such as pitocin at 6:30am on the 11th!
If I don't progess, Dr. will send me home w/sleeping meds then I'll come back the next day for some more fun.
Any birthing bets for after the 12th are not likely!
My guess? You'd think, being the one going through all these changes, I would have a hunch- but I don't- All I can say is that despite the waking-up-every-hour-or-two at night to go pee, believe it or not, I feel great!! And right now the Red Sox are ahead in the second inning, 9-0!
:D
