39 week checkup

Had my checkup this morning.  Sunday we had issues with the car overheating (radiator fan relay or something like that), and thought it was fixed, but it was overheating again on the way to my appointment.  So due to stress from that, my blood pressure was up (158/88).  I got a cervical check at 1.5 cm, then she decided to do a membrane sweep due to the high bp reading and the fact that I am due in just 4 more days, and then felt me at a stretchy 2-3 cm and 70% effaced.  I had another bp reading and this time was 128/82, so much better.  I am supposed to go back Friday for another checkup and bp reading if I don't have her before then.  Been feeling crampy and a few contractions since the membrane sweep, but nothing spectacular yet.  Good news is that my sister is coming tomorrow evening to stay for the weekend and hopefully see the baby.  Looking forward to it!

  1. Well, gosh, I hate car issues. My blood pressure goes through the roof just thinking of car issues.

    Maybe the sweep will stimulate it all and you will have that sweet girl!
