Oh yes, I'm still pregnant.
My midwife did a stretch & sweep this afternoon and I'm now almost 2cm dilated. I've had some cramping & I've also lost a little of my plug.
If the little one isn't born by Friday then I'll have a non-stress test up at the hospital, and another membrane sweep done next Wednesday. Cross your fingers that I get to cancel both of those appointments.
I'm still feeling really good & am having contractions, so at least my body is practicing. Take care friends & hopefully I'll have some good news soon.
ps. The sweep wasn't nearly as painful as I'd been warned. Uncomfortable, yes, but not excruciating. It also made me feel like I might accidentally pee on my midwife since my bladder was being squashed from all directions.

I discovered your blog via The Noisy Plume's. I love that you are documenting your pregnancy and hope your little one makes her debut soon!
Thanks for visiting, Elaine! I hope the little one hurries up -- she's already in control of our every thought & movement --- it will be fabulous to hold her at last :)
I had that done with Charlie, it was very strange...but it worked! Don't be surprised if you are in labor by tomorrow! xx Good luck! xx
you're in my thoughts! seriously, every once in awhile i'm like, "OH! desiree could be having her baby right now!" haha.
I've been reading your blog for a while, I'm not even sure how I found it now! But have found myself checking in a couple of times a day recently to see how you are doing. Hope you're not waiting too much longer, and good luck! :)
yep I keep checking to see if she's here... what does "stretching & sweeping" entail? I'm getting all these visuals in my mind but I have no clue what it is, I've never heard that term.
Basically they stretch your cervix a bit and try to stimulate the area to produce labour inducing hormones :) Doesn't always work, but can definitely help :)
