Rollercoaster of progression 🎢😤
So last Thursday I woke up with the WORST pelvic pain/pressure and couldn’t even move without being in tears. At that point I ask for a membrane sweep and met with my midwife the next day at the time I was 38+6. When she did the sweep she told me the baby’s head was very low and even tho I was 3cm I easily stretched to 4cm. We were expecting a baby last weekend! But yesterday (39+2) her had was HIGHER, my cervix moved back again and I was a solid 3cm she couldn’t even get in to do another sweep 😭 she told me the way it felt she would assume I have another WEEK! Anyway we were talking and she asked if I was “waiting” for anything? I realized I have been anxiously waiting for our new bed to be delivered because our old mattress is just on the floor NO BOX SPRING so it’s definitely not ideal to lay down right after pushing a baby out lol our bed delivers tomorrow. My midwife said somethings your body can slow down the process when you’ve been waiting for something or someone and maybe that’s my case right now! Well this morning I woke up with similar pain I had last week and maybe that means labor IS closer than we think! Has anyone experienced anything similar? Or have you heard of this happening? I hope this is the case for me and baby can come by Wednesday because I have a 3yr & 1yr old that I need babysat but our parents but BOTH of our parents are leaving town on Saturday (which is my due date) so 🤞🏻 hopefully it labor will begin very very soon!
