This week's update - week 38

Just got back from the doctor again. She checked me and while everything else might be all systems go (the baby has dropped low, etc), my cervix is just not dialating yet. If she were to induce me now it would likely not "take" and I would end up with a c-section. And, because my condition is not "critical" right now, she feels like that could be a lot for me to go through. 

That being said, I am retaining a ton of water and am really swollen. So, she wants to keep a close eye on me to make sure that the preeclampsia symptoms don't take a turn for the worse. Next doctor appt is Tuesday, and then another one again on Friday. If higher protein levels show up or if my blood pressure changes, she will induce me regardless. So, all in all, we're close--just not sure how close yet. Doctor still thinks another week. Stay tuned!
