Week 40

Posted on | July 5, 2009 | 4 Comments

Hello everyone! This is the big week! (I hope). I’m hoping baby Jack Jack and my body cooperate and grant my wishes. As of last week I was still dilated at 0 so my doctor and I started talking about induction. If he’s not here this week, next week he would like to thin out my cervix and pump my with Pitocin to bring everything on :(

I’m having hope for my body. Jack Jack is so low that I feel like he’s going to fall out of me, I’ve started to lose my mucus plug and my body has been cleaning itsself out. Plus I’ve had a surge of energy and been going through the whole nesting stage. I’ve never experienced one contraction though. At least not to my knowledge.

Keep your fingers crossed for me! Thanks for everyone’s tips in the last post as well. I’ve been trying them.

    Nipple stimulation.

    I’m blushing over here- but I was past my due date and her someone suggest this so I sat in bed and watched TV and got down on my own nips and ended up going into labor that night.

    Could have been coincidence, though. LOL.

    Fingers crossed for no induction, but either way, he’ll be here so soon!!!!!!!!!!!!
