Week 40

Another checkup today - fluid was 8.0. The doctor was about to let us go home then noticed a drop in the baby's heart rate (we do a non-stress test along with the fluid check). He sent us to the hospital for more monitoring so I spent 2 hours on the fetal heart monitor. The doctors there didn't see anything that concerned them but did encourage us to think about inducing since I'm now 40 weeks and have a history of high blood pressure.

We decided to give Trip the weekend to decide to make a showing on her own. Otherwise we go in again on Tuesday and will likely induce then - doctors don't like women with high blood pressure to go too long past their due date and I'll be nearly a week past at that point.

Until then we wait some more.....
