All right…we need prayers. The baby and my body have made absolutely no progress toward labor whatsoever. Labor is, for whatever reason, not spontaneously happening on its own and it is starting to concern my midwife (and thus me!).
Tomorrow morning I’ve got an appointment for an ultrasound and non-stress test to find out if the baby is still doing well and just is camping out for a longer than normal period. We’ll also find out approximately how big the baby is too! This is actually a concern of the midwife’s, that the baby is really, really big and is not engaging in the pelvis…potentially because it can’t. In the medical world that means c-section. EEK!
So please say a prayer for this labor to begin, for the baby to be like 7 pounds and for things to progress naturally, albeit quickly!
