Just had a midwife appointment. I mentioned that my husband said my belly looks more round, she said that's a good thing because it means baby is moving away from my body and getting ready to be born.

I'm a FTM so i know I still may have a way to go. If I'm still pregnant at next weeks appointment I'll get a cervical exam and a membrane sweep which I'm excited about because I wasn't sure if they were against them or not! Although I know that the majority of the time, sweeps don't induce labor so i won't get my hopes up about it.

I'm convinced that their is no way to naturally induce labor HOWEVER i bought some hot cheetos on the way home, made plans with my mom to go get pedicures tomorrow (I will definitely tell the nail lady to hit all those labor pressure points!) And I made plans to go hang out with my best friend next week. She has a 2 month old so im hoping the smell of baby will get my body in gear. 🤷‍♀️

I want to start inserting evening primrose oil capsules vaginally at night too (ive been taking orally for a week or so) but my midwife wants me to keep inserting a clove of garlic vaginally at night to bring down my GBS colonization as I do not want to have an IV during labor. So thats kind of a bummer.

If I were a really good girl, I would walk a/o do some squats everyday but im in Texas and its too hot for that shit. Plus my ankles have started to swell so I just want to sit between bouts of productivity.

Anywho.. just sharing with those of us who are left! You are NOT the only one still pregnant! I am here with you!
