Well, I'm at 39 weeks today and just got back from my doctor's appointment. I was hoping that he would tell me, seeing as I have only a week before his due date, that I had progressed a lot since last week. I have progressed, but just a little. Here is the breakdown. I've been at station -3 for the past three weeks (station 0 being the beginning of labor and station +5 being the crowning of his little head). I've been effacing about 10% a week and am at 70% this week. I have dilated since last week but I'm only at 1/2cm. So, it looks like I probably will not give birth before or on his due date (March 8th). I have an appointment next Tuesday and we'll more than likely have some decisions to make about inducing labor. Unless I've made some good progress! I really hope so! I want to go into labor on my own, but know it's not the end of the the world if I can't.
I'll keep you posted! No pun intended. :)
