38 week update

Today I went in for my 38 week checkup. I saw my own doctor this time. He measured me and I am still measuring ahead but not quite as far as I was. The heartbeat was perfect at 160. He checked for dilation and I am still 2 cm dilated. He was not sure if the cervix had changed much because the other doctor did not write that down last week. But he thinks my body is definitely ready to deliver. It's all up to baby now. I asked what to expect if the baby is not here by July 7th. He indicated that I would come in on my due date for a check up and then we would pick a date to be induced. I asked about my chances for a hard delivery and/or C Section with being induced and he doesn't think I will have any problems because I will be far enough along and I have already started dilating. He is hoping baby will come before then though. He said I could go another 2 weeks like this but in most cases it doesn't take 2 weeks to go into active labor. So now it's just more waiting. I guess I can look on the bright side knowing that the baby will definitely be here in less than 3 weeks.
