40 weeks...the waiting game begins

Alison had her 40 week check up today (although she's not officially 40 weeks until Weds) and all looks great with the Baby. The heartbeat was 152 and as usual the Dr was happy with her blood pressure and weight. Unfortunately, Alison still has made no progress towards labor. They're having Alison "wait out the week" to see if there's any progress being made. She'll go back to the Drs on Monday for one last check up and if no progress, they'll schedule an induction date any day between the 19-21st (Alison is requesting the 19th).

The Dr seemed pretty postive that an induction will have to take place. In fact, they told Alison even if she has contractions 5 mins apart to wait a few hours to call because her cervix isn't doing anything. Dr said best situation would be to have contractions every night, which hasn't happen so far. So we'll continue to keep you posted, but we don't think we'll have any more news to report this week.
