I have an induction scheduled for this coming Tuesday morning, election day. So hopefully by Wednesday I will be holding my sweet little babe in my arms… and all the election campaigning will be over! I went to my 41 week appointment this week, they did a non-stress test on baby 3 and he appears…
Yesterday was my Due Date. It came and went without a baby being born. I also had my 40 week check-up with the OB yesterday. The doctor checked me and said I was 3 cm dilated and 50% effaced.
