Bella Family Happenings

Baby Update

… she isn’t here yet!

I had my regular check-up today.  At 38 weeks, I am dilated to “2” and had my membranes stripped.  Doc said she had a “really good feeling” that I would have a baby within the next few days and wouldn’t be back for another appointment.  I have had irregular contractions for about 3 weeks, so I’m hoping they start to get stronger and regular. 

I am very excited to meet Bella, so I hope the doctor is right.  I know there really isn’t any hard core proof that stripping the membranes will jumpstart labor, but I’m hoping that my body is ready, so it will help.  At 37 weeks, I wasn’t even dilated to “1” so the fact that I had made it to a “2” in one week gives me hope. 

If you don’t here from me for a few days, you’ll know I’m snuggling a newborn baby girl!

  • >i have gone overdue with all mine so far (pregnant with #6) and I can't even imagine what it must be like to go into labor BEFORE your due date! Those days past the due date are so difficult…you feel like you are waiting and waiting! Hope you go early!
