Hi! So, I am officially at term. I was in the hospital and dilated from a 2 to a 4 within an hour. But Izzy isn't cooperating so I am still at a 4. The contractions are mostly in my back because she is sunny side up. They are coming so fast that I have to catch my breath inbetween them. They had to send me home because here's the problem. I am still at a 4 because of her position. They can't break my water because the ultrasound showed I have way to much. 18 and it should be at an 8. So if they did she'd drop to suddenly and the cord would strangle her. It's a no win situation. They won't give me pitocin until I am a 5. I am praying for an ending now that I am at term. She is now weighing between 6.1 and 6.11 which is good. With the contractions pretty regular I am hoping my water breaks on it's own because then my body is ready... The only great news is that my kidneys are at a stand still for dying! My liver, well they won't be able to tell the complete damage until it's done. I still want to go natural even though the pain is intense. I actually want a water birth, but we'll see. I guess it's all a weight game now. Now that she is term and will have no complications as far as they can see they said it'd be good to get her out now, before I have to have more than a blood transplant. I'm already not looking forward to that. They said there is still a huge probability that I may bleed out on the table and so that is why a water birth may not happen. All I know is that God knows the end results and if it's my time to go I will. If not Then I'll make it!
So that is me for now! I am glad the contractions are coming around slowly to my front so that I may dilate just 1 more cm.
The kids will be with their other grandparents tonight cuz I'm all alone in this one as everyone is out of town.
I'll update you when I can. Time to go pack the kids up!
Hopeful,
Bri
