Finally the earth shakes...

After our visit yesterday it seemed we were headed for an induced labor but last night around midnight Maggie started having contractions. As of this moment (9 am, Saturday) the contractions are lasting about 30 seconds and are between 6-10 minutes apart.

We've called the midwives, they recommend going about our day as normal, letting the contractions strengthen and become more regular. We're not sure how long this phase will last but the midwives advised it could go on for a couple of days.

Week 41

Week 41 visit to the Stony Brook Midwives

We had our latest visit to the midwives today, had a non stress test where they check the baby's heart rate and movement for twenty minutes. Lola and Maggie are both doing well. The sonogram estimates the baby's weight at approximately 7 pounds, her head is down, but no signs of dilation or labor yet.

If nothing happens this weekend we are scheduled to go to the hospital on Tuesday (9/8) to be induced, so either way it's less than a week till we finally see our little girl! Hope you all have a great labor day weekend.
