I had my 16th doctor's appointment today November 13th. The doctor measured my abdomen at 39 weeks. We listened to the heartbeat and it was about 140. I also had an exam which the doctor said that maybe I was about 2 cm dilated, but there is no change in the cervix.
I will be going into the hospital on Sunday November 18th and taking a pill (cytotech?) to start thinning the cervix and induce labor. I will have to be there for about 4 or 5 hours to be observed and if labor has not picked up in that time I will go home to try and sleep before I have to go back in the morning. On Monday morning, I will be back at the hospital around 7 a.m. or 8 a.m. to see what has happened with my cervix and the doctor will decide whether or not I will start pitocin. Hopefully, I will have the baby on Monday the 19th or at the latest Tuesday the 20th. Otherwise, the doctor wants to stop labor and wait until after the holiday.
