Well-nothing has changed at my most recent OB check up except for the slight possibility my effacement (thinning of cervix) has increased...this, of course, is completely relative seeing we meet with a different person each time we go in. Here is where we stand: I have an appointment on December 10 (two days post due date) and if no progress has been made, I will 1: be referred to the ultrasound techs at the hospital to do a non-stress test to determine if Gubby can continue to hang out (for up to two additional weeks) and/or 2: can schedule an induction. I am not particularly keen on the induction for many reasons but am still hopeful that he'll show up on his own time...close to the 11th!
We plan to 'move things along' as needed after we pass our due date by increasing activity (walking more often, lunges, etc.) and using reflexology (rubbing ankles/wrists) starting on the 10th if no progress has been made. Don't worry-we'll be sure to keep everyone posted! Additionally, if Gubby has yet to arrive, I'll take another monthly picture for the record. Compared to my pre-pregnancy state of 109lbs and a 26in waist-I'm currently holding strong at 163lbs and a 43in waist. Unbelievable.
