pregnancy. update.

today I had my OB appointment, it was the first time he checked me. I'm not dilated but what is worth noting is that I'm measuring full-term and I still have another 4 weeks to go till my due date!! Dr Yami is great and you had to be there in the room, when he saw my stomach and measured me and said casually....

"so erin, do you feel bigger this second time around?"

Um. I responded with a resounding:

"YES!"

He said "OK, yep you are, bigger then last time. In fact, you are measuring 40 weeks NOT 36 weeks."

I'm sure my jaw dropped when he told me that.

I think I had to repeat that in my head a couple of times..measuring at 40 weeks and I'm 36 weeks.

Great. So what does this mean I ask?

Basically it means that I might have a large baby and that waiting till my due date may not be an option.

We will take it week by week at this point, he says and just see what happens.

I'm not shocked and I'm not upset by this news, I knew I was large, it was rather funny when we were discussing it because I think Mike and I both knew I was big but we had no idea I was measuring a month bigger then I really am. We all got some good laughs in that room today.

I just want this baby to come naturally. I do not want to be induced in any way shape or form and I do not want a C-section so it's a fine line. Why? Because if I wait to long because I refuse to be induced and the baby keeps getting bigger then I run the risk of a C-section. If I give in and get induced then the chances of having the type of birth I want are lessened.

All I want is for the baby to come when it's ready and not because of medical intervention.

I do not want to be medically induced what so ever...

So hopefully that will not be the case but it does seem likely that this little baby will show his or her head sooner then later...

Stay Tuned.....
