Well, I am sure many of you know that John and I are having a baby. We scheduled with the doctor and hospital to have my labor induced on Tuesday, July 12... next Tuesday. The induction is 11 days early from the original due date.
Well, over the last two weeks I have been having contractions here and there, but nothing to worry about and nothing that doesn't happen all the time. I never went into labor.
I went to the doctor today - my last appointment before I go to the hospital next week and got some interesting news.
The doc told me that I was 3 centimeters dilated and that if I had one more contraction that I needed to call the hospital and then get on my way.
Apparently the few contractions that I have had over the last couple of weeks have been very effective contractions (as far as how quickly they are dilating me) and doc says one more is all it could take to send me into active labor. Basically, he said not to wait to time multiple contractions because we won't have time... we live an hour away from the hospital!
Anyways, John is a wreck. I called him on the way home from the doc to give him the news and all he kept saying was omigod... omigod... omigod.
Anyone taking bets on whether I'll make it through the weekend? LOL
