Pregnancy update

So, according to my doctor... at 37 weeks into this pregnancy:

I gained 3 lbs in ONE week - -yikes!
I am 2 cm dilated.
I am 75% effaced.
Baby is head down and ready to go!
Baby is not kicking/punching...he's rolling. huh? Guess he's just running out of space in there.
Because I had such a short labor with the Kiddo, I should not wait until my contractions are at 5- 3 mins apart to make my way to the hospital. Rather head on over ASAP.

Oh & since she's the doctor on call at the hospital this weekend, would I like her to strip my membranes to induce labor?
Uh...No thank you. I think I'll just let nature take it's course.

I should be walking and eating pineapples to move this along! Fun, fun...

yea, good call on the "stripping the membrane" thing. My doc did that and BY FAR 10,000 times MORE painful than actual labor and/or childbirth. I cried!

Can't wait for the kiddo to "pop" out!

Oh god..stripping the membrane sounds totally traumatizing!! hopefully baby isn't too comfy in there!! good luck mama!!
