One more week to go! How crazy this is! At our last visit my doctor stripped my membranes... in hopes it would stimulate Joslyn to come on out. Well no such luck. We got stripped on Friday and nothing happened all weekend. I have to say having that done was very much worth it. Of course my husband and I did ALOT of research on it. The process, the effects, possible risks, and so on. Our doctor said it would hurt and the only real risks is labor! He did it two times, it was very painful but maybe due to the fact I was still 1 cm dilated. He said that I may have slight spotting and he hoped to see me in labor soon. (No matter how badly it hurt I asked him to do it some more. He told me no, with a slight giggle.)
I had some spotting the rest of the day, and just wanted to rest. It was crazy but I felt violated! To be a bit honest it felt like I just had another DNC. That was scary and I was kind of nervous about that. I had too many feelings and memories that came back to me. But luckily I had my amazing husband who helped keep my mind away from the negative and kept me laughing. The stripping seemed to do two things though. My contractions that I have been having for 4 weeks now have seemed to intensify and my plug seems to be trying to come out. (If it is still even there.)
We are very much ready to met our little miracle, all we are doing is waiting for her to be ready to come out. She seems to like it where she is.... But all we want to do is count her pretty little toes and fingers, listen to her heart beating, watch her move around, and touch her amazing little self.
