Hope everything is going well for you, esperanza! Can't wait to hear more.
Just got home from my midwife appointment. I waited in the room for 40+ minutes, so it didn't start out too great. I've been the same weight the last three weeks, so I'm happy I'm not still packing on the pounds
I saw a new midwife this time, she was okay. She talked to me about things I should call about, which were the obvious things like lack of fetal movement or leaking waters. Then she was telling me about how at 41 weeks they start doing NST and would do another a few days later. I asked if I had to be induced how would they work and I also asked if I could choose to be induced at 41 weeks rather than wait until 42. She explained that when they do the NST they will also do a cervical check. if cervix is unfavorable, I'll go to the hospital the night before planned induction for cervix ripening, but if it is favorable and there's dilation I'll just go the morning of and start pitocin. She said at 41 weeks if I ask to be induced they will, and usually if I'm already 3 or 4 cm dialated they will just send me over to the hospital then. But she also said at 41 weeks for an induction they like to have you in the books, as in have it scheduled, so I guess it varies? ... im supposed to have an appointment every 7-10 days, and when talking about rescheduling she was trying figure out if we did it on the later end we could make where I could just have one appointment for a check up & the NST verses having two. Since I won't be 41 weeks in 10 days she was like well I guess we will have to just do two appointments then. So I said so I'll come again next Friday? And she said yes in 7-10 days.
Well, I go up front to reschedule and the lady schedules me for the 17th, which is 11 days. At that point I'll be 1 day shy of 41 weeks. So I'm assuming they will also do the NST that day. Since I know I'm already dialated I'm hoping I will be a 3-4 by then and they just send me over, but I know that's best case scenario with that. I imagine they would just schedule it out.
A couple days before the appointment I'm going to call and make sure they are doing the NST during that appointment as well. Hopefully I don't even make it until then!
Also wanted to mention that the 17th is our wedding anniversary.
so if they do send us over then, he could be born that day! Probably unlikely though.
(no experience on the bleeding as I went straight to contractions with my first bit sounds like they can't be far off!)
happy full term!!
I have two friends that had that happen to them, too. I hope you're feeling better now, and hopefully you can get breastfeeding re-established. 
hoping you everything gets better for you soon! Glad that little Nora is doing ok.
