Ok, so I'm so so ready to meet Little Cub!!! I've been feeling pretty good this last week. I'm just tired and uncomfortable. I've had a lot of contractions this past week. So, I thought for sure when I went to my appointment this morning that I would be further dilated and effaced. But, no such luck. However, that doesn't mean a whole lot as far as when Little Cub will make an entrance. I really want to have a v-bac (vaginal birth after cesarean). Because of my previous c-section, I'm not allowed to be induced due to the risk of uterine rupture. So, I have to go into labor on my own or end up having the scheduled c-section which is scheduled for August 23. Knowing this, I asked my midwife if she would strip my membranes. She did, which was really uncomfortable!!!! But, I'm hoping it helps. Also, I work Wednesday and Thursday this week, so that should also help since I'll be on my feet a lot. Then, I also scheduled a massage for Friday morning. My massage therapist has induced labor with massage therapy on other women, so I'm hoping it works for me if I haven't gone by then.
Little Cub is still moving around quite a bit. And, at times I feel like he/she is punching me in rather uncomfortable places. I'm really looking forward to meeting Little Cub and can't wait to kiss the cute little face.
