39 week appointment

My 39 week Doctors appointment and to be my last one this pregnancy! Doctor said I was about 3cm dilated39-weeks-pregnant and still 90ish effaced. Baby still could come at anytime but she’s being a bit abstinent! We went ahead and scheduled an induction, that is if she doesn’t come before then. I should be having her on Tuesday, her original due date. Wow… can’t believe it’s almost over. So many feelings to describe! A bit overwhelming to an extent… a bit surreal.

Update on my Doctors visit for 38 weeks. I’m 90% effaced and 2cm dilated. Doc said I won’t make it to my38-weeks-pregnant my due date for sure and maybe not even to my next appointment. I wish she should would come today so I can have some nice hospital air conditioning but until then, I am staying hydrated! I am so super uncomfortable… so I am just kicking back and relaxing and resting as much as I can!
