The NST went well! Andrew was asleep for the first 30 minutes, but then they came in and gave me a Diet Coke to drink. That woke him up! He started moving and grooving...It was cool. I asked Dr. H about a specific date for this induction and he said what he would do is sit down and talk to Dr. E, make a plan, and Monday when I came back in, we'd talk about options and check my cervix to see if Mother Nature is helping us out any or not. He did say, though, that he's looking at the end of Feb., so I'm thinking Monday (the 27th) is when they'll start the induction. (They don't foresee any reason to suggest that I will need a c-section, so I guess we'll see how this goes!) I told him about my nightmare about trying to deliver a baby with Chris' 35-yr old head and he assured me that the baby will not have that size of a head. :) Again, I say, "Thank God!"
Anyway, that's all the news for now...I'm going to go take a nap 'cause I'm exhausted from the crazy night I had. Thanks, Cat (Galloping), for assuring me that the insomnia and c-section worries are normal. :) Glad to know I'm not a freak of nature.
- Kathy McC had this to say:
Just a tip in case he DOES have a large noggin...
Try pushing lying on your side. Aaron got stuck because his head was so large and after pushing for almost 2 hours, the nurse suggested I lie on my side. 5 minutes later, he was out!
Hope you're feeling well.
