Another day....

We went swimming yesterday, as our last family activity with only two kids. From now on we will be officially out numbered. You should have seen the looks people were giving me. What? They never saw a full term pregnant woman at the pool? Good times.

So this morning I saw my midwife and am happy to report that I am dilated to a 3 and 70% effaced. I was really glad to hear that my body is doing something! She stripped my membranes and ever since i have been really crampy. I tried to talk to her about not doing the full on induction tomorrow and just seeing if i could go into labor. She changed the subject and just told me to come back again later this evening to get my membranes stripped again. Then she called up to the hospital and talked to the midwife there and then sent me up there for this procedure to help turn the baby from the posterior position. So I went up there and they used a rebozo technique where they basically have you go into different positions and try to shake the baby lose so they will reposition properly. Its kind of weird, but really relaxing and felt good actually. They got him to move a bit but not all the way. She told me they would work on it some more while i was in labor. I am left wondering what happens if i don't go into labor, do i have to show up for the induction tomorrow then? She never even let me talk about waiting.
