I got checked at 38 weeks and what do you know I had
progressed to a 4! Dr. Clifford told me he would write me down as a 3 and 70%
effaced so that in case I started having contractions and went into the
hospital and they checked me it would show that I was still progressing-at the
time I thought this was the greatest thing ever because I thought I was going
to have my little man any day! That didn’t happen though-I did have
contractions all night long that were 4 minutes apart and we debated going into
the hospital but I called labor and delivery and they told me if I could still
walk and talk through the contractions I shouldn’t go in. Well then the next
day was Thursday and I was freaking out because Dr. Clifford was leaving for a
week. So I called and must have sounded
a little crazy because they got me in right away and Dr. C checked me
and the first thing he says is, “oh ya you’ll deliver while I’m gone.” And then
it was me trying not to bawl. The thought of delivering with a different Dr.
really stressed me out! He said I was almost to a 5 and basically see ya later!
I wasn’t a very happy camper after that appointment. Pregnancy emotions and
hormones are rough!
So Monday the 19th I went in for my 39 week
appointment with Dr. Burton-whom I had only met once before. I was super
nervous and really just expecting to be checked and then leave and wait to be
induced on Sunday the 25th. Well Dr. Burton walks in and says, “So
what do you want to do?” I was a little taken back and just said well I want to
have my baby! He says Ok I’ll go see if they can get you in and then left. He
came back to me frantically texting Ter saying we might have our baby today!
Dr. Burton told me I could go in right then and he would meet me to break my
water! Holy smokes I was instantly in love with him! We talked some more about
the game plan and he answered all my questions and I felt good and he felt good
about it so we were off! Birth story to come!
