Almost time

On thursday, the 17th I was 39 weeks.  I went to the dr the next day.  That puts me the closest to my due date I have ever been!

At my appointment, my measurements, weight, fetal heart rate and movement were all fine.

I am now at 3 cm and 80% effaced.  The talk came up about breaking my water next monday if I didn't go in on my own.  With my membranes striped, and a decision to make I went home.

Now the big debate.........Should I have my water broken on Monday, make a few laps around the hospital and be done?  Why would I do this?
1. So I could be home from the hospital by Thanksgiving
2. Because I have been having contractions every 10 mins for 2 days
3. Than my dr would be able to delivery (he is going out of town for the Thanksgiving)
4.  To get it done with.

Now, as good of reasons as those are they are for my connivence.   I am not over due.  There is nothing wrong with the baby or me.  So I decided to wait.  No breaking water on monday
