37 weeks

Moving right along.. I think I have the hospital bag mostly packed and ready to go. My last doctors appointment showed that I was 1cm dialated. Not sure how effaced. Otherwise right on track!

36 weeks

As times goes on, I feel more like this baby is going to come early. Maybe I have just been doing too much lately and my body is feeling it, but I definitely feel it moreso this time than I remember with Damon. I started taking evening primrose capsules with my vitamins at night on this last monday and I don't think that was the greatest idea. I wouldn't be surprised if I am already dilating or effacing at this point .. and that may be why alongside the fact that it's not my first pregnancy. I don't know.. but at my doctors appointment this last week they told me they normally wait till 36 weeks to do a pelvic exam.. but she offered to have it checked now if I felt the need to. I told her (the nurse taking my vitals) that I would talk to my doctor when she got in and if she thought that we needed to, then I am open to it. BACKTRACK.  Another symptom I noticed was that trying to be intimate with Adam was a lot more uncomfortable and I felt a lot more pressure. I think things are just dropping and so it's just not the best idea. So anyway, because of that- I was kind of curious what a pelvic exam would reveal, but the nurse said that if I'm not contracting regularly, then she wasn't concerned about it. So, I never brought it up to my doctor. So that's that.. and I stopped taking evening primrose on Thursday or Wednesday because I felt like it was just making me feel worse and I would rather wait to possibly speed things up or start labor.  I plan on bringing it up to my doctor as well to see what her opinion is on taking it at all. I also kind of thing that looking back on my belly pictures that it looks like it's dropped a bit. Otherwise, uneventful week. Until next time..

35 Weeks

I missed a week posting, but all is well! Feeling more pressure in my pelvic area. They start doing pelvic checks at 36 weeks so we'll see!
