I had a very long Dr. appt today. The NST was good, Coen is not stressed.....he's fat and happy. We found out the he is just 2 ounces shy of nine pounds....that's right, 8 pounds 14 ounces!! No wonder I can hardly breathe or sleep these days. I tried to get a plan from the Dr. but she wants to wait one more week and see if I start dilating on my own. Because, as of now I got nothin' going on down there and his head is still pretty high. Basically I think I'm headed for a C-section. She said it's about a 50/50 chance. If he continues to gain like he has (1/2 a pound and week) then he'll be "over the limit"(9.5 pounds) and they will want to do a c-section anyway. Thank you Gestational Diabetes!! I've made it through the holidays and I'm always starving lately. I've kept my blood sugar levels just right with a lot of hard work and he's still huge!! I actually lost 2 pounds last week!!! I live on cheese sticks!!
Prayers worked for getting him turned head down so lets pray I start to go on my own and can possibly avoid a C-section.......Either way he comes he's coming out a little butterball!!

I very much recommend evening primrose oil capsules, they will help you dilate naturally, you can either swallow them or put them up in ya! Jodi's DR had her using them the last 3 weeks of both pregnancy and I used them. You should search it on the net. Slight chance it could also start contractions. Take Care
