39 Week Update!

Had a good appointment this morning! Blood pressure is perfect still, I am a finger tip dilated, 50% effaced, baby's head is engaged, and my doctor did a membrane sweep, or stripping of the membranes (I won't go into the gross details of what that is, but it can bring on labor by doing this). None of this progress was made with Logan's pregnancy so we are very encouraged that this baby will be indeed be a VBAC baby! We go back next week (if we make it that long), pretty sure he will check me again then and since next week is my due date week, if I haven't gone by then we will talk about induction if it will be a possibility ( I would have to be dilated to 2-3) and do a non-stress test on the baby as we move into 41 weeks if needed. My awesome doctor hasn't even mentioned the word c-section in less I bring it up, and hasn't even made me schedule one "just in case" like most doctors will, I am so lucky to have found this doctor, I think it was all meant to be. Since the doctor did the sweep, I have been very crampy, back achy, etc. so maybe something will get started today!
