OK, SO THIS is the deal...

Original post by anna

All tests went very well (BioPhysical and NonStress Test)... Of course the baby didnt move as much as we wanted so they gave me candy and soda to get him/her moving

They estimated the baby to weigh 8.1.
JA weighed 8 even and he was 6 days late.
(Today is 5days late). So this baby is in sync w big brother

This Friday I will be one week late. So I have the option of waiting another week, which would make me 2wks late.

We decided to wait, not the full two weeks, but until next Tuesday 3/16, which if I dont go on into labor by then, we'd have a c-section.

Part of me says to wait it out the full 2 weeks, why not, and part of me, with having had a previous C, and the baby getting big already, most likely labor will progress slowly (Im still only 1 1/2cm and baby is a little high) Also, with having had a previous C, things have to be monitored more closely, they wont induce, etc. I was on the fence about when to wait until. She totally left it up to how I felt about waiting how long. and I guess in this case, 10-11 days sounds about long enough...Kinda right in the middle...
Id like to give it a chance to come naturally, the way mother nature intended. But we also want to keep in mind Dr's advice.

So I hope we made a good decision.

We'll see if this baby decides to join us this weekend !

Maybe if you walked to Buffalo, you would get some contractions?!!?

In all seriousness, I think I am going to be one of those women who is in false labor for weeks and never really know when the real labor begins...WHY ME?

Ive been walking around my HILLY block the past few days. At times it feels like the baby is dropping as I walk, but the Dr confirmed yesterday 'still high'
The baby IS in position, and head is down, but still considered 'high' for 41wks

Nancy, maybe I'll stop by if I drive to Niagara Falls this summer

Laborvibes to you Anna!!!

I can't believe they changed things...when I ha JJ the doctor would not let me even get a bed to induce until the 14 day I was late...he said it was the insurance companies would not approve it before 14 days.

Vibes...................

I hope mother nature gets her but in gear and fast, for you!

How are you feeling otherwise? You're not too uncomfortable?

Anna ... I think you are making the right decision. I guess the baby is too comfortable in Mommy's belly.

I hope to meet him/her soon.
