Another week has gone by and still no delivery yet. I have noticed an increase in cramps and back pain lately which is something I mentioned to my doctor. She said it was normal. However, at my appointment today, my blood pressure was high again and the doctor sent me upstairs to labor and delivery to be monitored for a while. The thing is, I know why my pressure was high, but she didn't seem to really believe me. The reason it was high is because I was sitting there naked from the waist down with only a paper towel to cover up with knowing that she was about to check my cervix. As the door opened and closed I could see men standing out there with their wives and I was very nervous about feeling exposed. I mean I am always so anxious when I have to sit there naked with the door opening and closing that I just almost want to cry. So, because she feels like my pressure has been too high every time I come to see her, she is going to induce labor the day before I am due if I do not go into natural labor before then. At least I can wait up until my due date. I feel a little better that she is not trying to induce me too early. I feel like it is just best to let my body do things naturally. So, I really hope I go into labor before the induction date.
Right now, I am feeling exhausted, a little scared, and anxious about the impending delivery. However, I am excited that we will soon have our precious little baby in our arms.
