And the doctor said...

At Amy's OB appointment today, the doctor found that her cervix is now dilated to 3cm and continues to be 90% effaced. She said BGF is probably in the mid-7lb range in weight now and seemed a little surprised that Amy hadn't started having any significant contractions yet. The doctor then managed to separate the amniotic membrane from the cervix (looked really painful from my perspective!) during the exam and said that can encourage labor to begin sooner. She gave us the option to induce at this time, but we have chosen to ride it out. Hopefully the contractions will begin naturally... and soon! We will keep you posted...
