39weeks?

[twotrue]

My OB practice has four OBs and the one I saw today said she would let me go to 39wks before induction. OMG.  2 more weeks of this?  Don't get me wrong, I want these boys to get all the growth time they can but seriously!? They have no more space to grow!  Their feet are very clearly lodged up in my ribs.  Their heads are resting on my cervix.  Today's OB did say that at least one of the others in the practice would consider induction just after 38 weeks so maybe I need to make sure my next appointment is with that doc. :-p

Are they both head-down?

Will you indulge us and try all the old wives tricks to get labor started? But seriously, have you tried acupuncture? I had it the weeks leading up to my delivery with N and my water broke on my due date, which never happens. I credit it to acupuncture, balancing everything at the right time. Not to mention it also made me sleep better and be more comfortable, in general. I've already scheduled my appointments starting mid July for this babe.

How are you holding up? You were under the impression that they would induce this week, to have a vaginal birth, yes? Oye. I can't imagine what a shock hearing 39 weeks must have been... But I am so, so glad they (and you) are doing so well, they want to keep them in! You're one hell of a host

Holy crap TT!  I was just going to text you to see if it is time for me to make a hospital visit!  Stay strong mama!

There's such a variety of opinions on when twins should/n't be born. For anything prior to 38 wks my MFM would have to sign off on it. I suppose anything between 38-39 wks I could go to my MFM but I just don't see (at this point) anyone having a medical reason to call for the induction. I'm kind of of the mindset too that 39 weeks isn't bad, it's just hard physically on me. So at this point as long as they're kicking, passing all their NSTs and BPPs we'll just hang in there.

And ct - yes, they are both head down.
