D-day (due day) is almost here! But the question remains: is she going to be like her father and be late for EVERYTHING or is she going to be on time? My thoughts are she is taking after her father.
I had my doctors appointment on Tuesday and I've gained my 1/2 pound back. So I'm back at 18 pounds for 39 weeks of pregnancy. According to my pregnancy book, at this point weight gain doesn't really happen anymore so I guess 18 pounds will be my total for this pregnancy. Fun fact, my mom only gained 18 pounds with me, so maybe it's genetic? BUT!! Because I haven't gained any weight in basically the last two months my doctor is concerned that it's not good for Teagan. She's measuring about two weeks behind still. So since I'm not getting any bigger and she's not getting any bigger, if Teagan doesn't come out on her own by next week they are going to schedule me for an induction at the end of next week. (NASCAR weekend in AZ for those who follow race season) Basically my next appointment is Tuesday, if she's still content to stay in and no more progress has been made (I was "I'll give you a 1" dilated ... sympathy dilation... just what I need) they they will schedule me that Friday or Saturday for induction. So she'll be born in the next week for sure!
Next week I have my doctors appointment on Tuesday (if she doesn't decide to make an appearance by then). Then on Wednesday I have a chiropractic appointment where he will do a special adjustment to help induce labor more naturally. I'm hoping if Teagan doesn't come by my doctor's appointment the adjustment will kick labor into gear. I'm really hoping I wont have to be induced with pitocin because I'm trying to have a natural birth and those who undergo pitocin usually end up getting an epidural of some kind because it can cause very intense contractions.
So that brings the question of the week! When do you think Teagan will come? On her own? with an eviction notice? Forcibly removed?
Until next time!
Bre and Teagan (the bump... for now)
