Appointments: On 6.18.12, I went to see Dr.
Kimberly and had Acupuncture to help my body naturally go into labor because I
really would prefer that over being induced. After the appointment, I was having
consistent contractions, all day and by the evening, they were 5 minutes apart.
We decided to head to the hospital, when I got there, they monitored me and I
was only dilated to 2 cm and the contractions weren’t strong enough to keep
progressing at that time. We went on a 45 minute intense walk (at least it was
for me) and there was no change so we were sent home. On 6.19.12 we had a BPP
ultrasound and Will was showing some signs of stress and wasn’t moving the way
he should be and always had been. The Dr. recommended I go to North Memorial
Robinsdale to be monitored on the NST (Non-Stress Test) to make sure everything
was ok and if not, I would be where we wanted to be for delivering Will. Continued
in the next post.
Highlights: Chris and I tried to
do as much together as possible before welcoming Will into the world so we went
to a movie, went on nightly walks, we enjoyed Father’s Day with our Dad’s – we
went to a pancake breakfast and then toured the Air & Car Show in Buffalo.
All about me: I am up a total of
29 pounds and 14“ on my tummy. I definitely feel and look bigger but the only
change is that Will has dropped and I gained 2 additional pounds. I am having a
harder time getting around and am ready to meet this little guy!
