  • Induction

    If I don't go on my own by tomorrow, we are scheduled for a 7AM "water breaking" induction on Friday, May 8th.  This is not my ideal situation...I'd much rather stay pregnant until my body goes by itself....but, after the tests yesterday, they are estimating Priscilla to be 9lbs2oz and the larger she gets the higher my risk of uterine rupture becomes from the previous section.  On the same note, we are looking at the same risk with induction.  We are praying the Lord will bless the decision to start with breaking my water and that that will be all it takes to have this girly make her grand entrance into the world :)  I really don't want pitocin and the extra monitoring that will come with it...but, not my will, His :)  I'm excited to hold my baby, regardless!!  YAY!!

  • 41 weeks

    going to the hospital tomorrow for a biophysical profile of the baby to ensure all is well inside, thus allowing me to stay pregnant longer.  there is worry b/c i'm a "vbac" and that is why there is a bit of a rush on getting the baby out on my due date and not much later.

    they will check for 1. fluid around the baby 2. placenta (to make sure it isn't getting "old" or "tired of working") 3.  gross motor skills of baby (arms/legs moving) 4. fine motor skills of baby (fingers/toes moving) 5.  baby's breathing patterns

    after the profile, i will be monitored for a stress test to see how she is responding to contractions, etc.

    we are praying that i will spontaneously go into labor before any of this.  i've been contracting all day today, but they aren't increasing in strength or frequency.  just staying near 10min apart (grr!).

    i hope to have a better update soon :)

    if we don't check out well on the five points above or the stress test, i will probably be admitted and inductions begun (breaking water with heavily monitored small doses of pitocin).  this just increases my chances of another section, but i know the Lord has a great plan in mind :)  my prayer is that he brings forth priscilla naturally and i can have a 3rd successful vbac.

    talk soon :)
