i'm back from the o.b. not much to report. you guys didn't do a very good job on that homework i gave you... you were supposed to send me dilation and effacement vibes!! ;)
baby appears very healthy still, even though there has definitely been a decrease in movement. seems sprout is running out of room. heart rate is still in the 150's.
pretty much no change for me though. still less than a centimeter dilated and baby is still sitting at -1. the only change to note is that i'm now 80% effaced. i'm pretty bummed. why? i don't know. i was hoping for a little more progress. i shouldn't be surprised though. when pregnant with bean i was 2 cm and 80% for a whole month. why do i think things should be so much different this time around??
as for induction, i can't be induced before 39 weeks- no medical reason to do so at this point. so the earliest it can be done is march 20th. the only other day available is my due date. so, now i have to decide. do i want induced? if the answer is yes- do i want to try to go early or do i want to wait and evict sprout on his/her due date?
hmmmmmmmm........ i guess i have a week to figure it out.
seriously, my next appointment is in a week. remember, think dilation and effacement! :)

Just remember how fast things can change. You can go from 80% and 1 cm to 100% and 8cm in just a few hours. :) Hopefully that will be the case for you and you don't end up needing to be induced at all.
Now having said that, as much as I'm not looking forward to a repeat c-section, the one good thing about it is that unless little one decides to make her appearance early, I know exactly when she's going to arrive!
Hey, I HAVE been thinking dilation/effacement! I think you just have a stubborn little one there! ;o)
But I bet that once things get moving...they'll get moving fast!!
Good luck!
