Tuesday Week 41

Today I spent the day with my sister. I know that I already published a post last week of a picture of me and my sister saying that might be the last picture of us with me pregnant with this baby. Well little did I know that I would still be pregnant a week later. Sorry about the inaccurate information. Today we spoiled ourselves by getting our haircut and styled.The Game Plan
Being one week overdue we went to the doctor today to have an ultrasound and non stress test. The ultrasound showed that I have more than normal amniotic fluid which is nothing to be worried about. It just means baby is comfortable and mommy is huge and uncomfortable. The baby responded well to the non stress test. My exam showed no real change from last week. So unless labor happens naturally here is the game plan. Friday morning go to the doctor office again for a ultrasound and non stress test to make sure baby is still doing well. Friday afternoon go to the acupuncturist for labor inducing treatment. Assuming no natural labor by Saturday, go to the hospital to have a pressure catheter placed to help with dilation then go home. Then assuming no labor by Sunday morning go to the hospital to start pitocin drip. I hope to be able to go into labor naturally but knowing that there will be an absolute end to my being pregnant by at least Sunday or Monday gives me some comfort.
