We went for the 38week appointment today and they sent us home; not to the hospital... I probably jinxed that though because about a month back I made all of my weekly appointments in advance, through today's appointment only. (I thought there was NO WAY I'd go past this appointment.) As of today, I am at 3-4cm, 80% effaced, so we've made a little bit of progress, but not enough. The midwife we met with today also had her baby au natural, so she seemed very supportive of my choice, and said my progress to date is very encouraging. Also, the Hulk is estimated to weigh 6lb 9oz.
Carolyn was nice enough to take me out for an eggplant parmesan dinner afterwards, to try to get things moving - we'll see if this old wives' tale works!
