OVERdue!

Well, tomorrow will be a week past due... one whole week!

So this is where you question, am I really overdue... or is it that my due date is wrong. It's all just a guess anyway. None the less, this is my first pregnancy where I've gone PAST my due date. So it's a little weird.

Today I am scheduled to have a half hour fetal heartbeat stress test and an ultrasound to check the amount of fluid around the baby. Just a standard precaution when you're 41 weeks prego!

It's going to be completely weird to have an ultrasound at this stage of pregnancy, it's like being able to see her right before she's born. With the crazy 4D ultrasound, you really get to SEE them. So I have mixed emotions about it... on one hand, I'm thinking how cool is that, I'll get to see her! But then, I sorta feel like it's taking away the element of surprise that comes with watching your child being born, and seeing them for the first time. Hum?

On Friday I was told that I was high risk to be induced b/c of the fact that my conditions (60% and 1 cent.) haven't changed in three weeks and she still hasn't 'engaged'... she's too high. So, I would more likely end up having to have a c-section than a normal labor. I'll pass... I much rather push this one out the old fashioned way, I'm not a fan of being cut open! :)

So after today I suppose I will know my fate. Whether or not things are okay, whether or not they will let me continue to be pregnant and for how long. I rather wait a few more weeks than be starring at an inducing date. Overall I have nothing to complain about, I'm still fairly comfortable and can function normally! So if she's not ready, I can wait!
