So, at my OB appointment, I had an NST, and an ultrasound to measure fluid. Baby is doing fine and dandy. I was still only dilated to a 1, but she was able to stretch me to a 3, and did another aggressive membrane sweep. I was also able to get my backup c/s pushed back from Thursday to Sunday, so that takes a lot of pressure off. Then I had another acupuncture appointment and that went well too. And, since we got home, I've been contracting every 5-10 minutes consistently. Now they just have to get stronger and we're in business!
Fingers crossed! I admit I physically recoiled while reading that they stretched you from 1cm to 3cm. That sounds extreeemely uncomfortable. lol
That's what I thought too - I know how painful just CHECKING to see how much you're dilated hurts so I can't even begin to imagine how badly being stretched feels!!
