Well, Baby B is still baking. 10 days until my due date & no real sign that this little one is ready to leave the warm & cushy confines of my womb. There's been some promising progress over the past 5 days, but no contractions. As much as this is an exciting time...like Christmas Eve, only better, & once it's over you can never relive it....I'm just so ready for Panda to get here. The last two weeks have def. been uncomfortable, anxiety riddled & filled with curiosity. What will labor be like? When is it going to happen? Is the baby going to be healthy? Just a swirl of questions & concern & excitement.
At my appointment yesterday my blood pressure was quite elevated, so I have to go back & have it checked on Friday. If it's still high, I'll be sent to the regional hospital to have some testing done. The doctor didn't specifically say, but I'm assuming if the testing does not go well, we'll probably talk about induction or something along those lines. High blood pressure & pregnancy don't mix. Thankfully I'm 38 1/2 weeks at this point & my BP didn't rise any earlier than this point...at least we know baby is def. viable & ready for the world.
Either way, we're preparing ourselves mentally for the biggest life change we're ever going to face!
