ok, so not 10 days, but not 30 either....

Today at my appointment (36 weeks) I measured at 1-2 cm (doc said she could easily stretch it to two but won't to mess a cervix it until 37 weeks) and 50% effaced. So next week she will strip my membranes and we'll go from there. She said that unless I'm really having health issues, she wants me to get as close to 40 weeks as I can go. That said, after 38 weeks, if I'm favorable (which she seemed to think I would be) we could talk about breaking the water -- but unless my health goes to pot in the meantime, we'll just do the membranes thing and wait it out. She said that 2 weeks from now would be great for the delivery because she feels the baby will be close to 7 lbs -- she said though that she expects he won't be as big as Rhianna since I haven't gained as much weight. She had two ladies she was inducing today at 42 weeks and said "Please don't get that far" -- I told her that wouldn't be a problem. If I go to 40, I'll find my own way to break the damn bag of waters :)
