Well, I never thought I'd be the person to end up at the hospital and return home still pregnant, but it happened yesterday. Thought my water broke, but the midwife disagreed. It was good practice though. John was calm and cool, collected all our stuff, paid attention to all the visual cues I'd left for him around the house to help him get organized in a moment just like this and we were out of the house in 20 minutes. Two hours later, we were back home.
I had a non-stress test, had an exam, midwife tested for bacteria- all was good. The baby is doing great, I am 1 c.m dilated and 25% effaced and the midwife says I am looking good for my first baby. I wish those numbers were higher!
No one, including myself, feels this baby is going to be joining us any day soon. I have doctors' appointments up to March 7th and I already have my past-due ultrasound and non-stress test booked for the 2nd week in March. March is a good month to be born, right?
Good luck! You guys are gonna be great parents!
ReplyDeleteI love that you left John 'visual cues'! I'm glad all is well...I hope she get's a move on! However....March 9th is a lovely day to be born I must say from experience... ;-) It would be quite the over due anniversary present as well...
ReplyDelete"Visual cues" is Behavior Analyst talk for "a sign on the back of the door with three things not to forget" :)
