Ok gals heres my update (sorry had a house full)
So we got into our home and I called the OB here to get into have everything set up and schedule my next appointment. I got in and it was just a meeting with the nurse and a wellness check. I requested the only midwife here and got her. So the nurse was checking my BP and noticed it was high. She took it again and high. We decided to work through everything and check it at the end and decided what to do then. Sadly it was high at the end so she got the midwife to see what she wanted done. They sent me over to L&D for a NST (non stress test), blood work (had to do it anyway because my last ob office never sent it to them), and a 24 hour urine collection.
They hooked my up to the fetal monitor for about an hour and took my BP periodically. The baby was perfect and insanely active. The nurse also felt like the baby was a really good size but they scheduled me another scan to check on the baby (honestly I think this is just different hospitals different procedures because I wasn't going to have one at my other doctors). My BP was high twice but the last three it was low enough and that plus the baby's great review the L&D doctor sent me on home.
I didn't get a phone call back from them about my blood or urine work so I assume there wasn't any protein or red flags in it to make them concern. They didn't put me on any restrictions just told me to drink TONS of water due to the climate of our new home. I cut back on my exercise and walk just a little in the evening now. I wasn't happy with the word induction being thrown around so easily here so I don't want to risk it. I know I have other options but until I meet with my midwife I am going to be really gaurded with the doctors here.
I have my first real appointment Friday but not sure what will go on. The above is what I typically have as an appointment (minus the NST and lab work) so we shall see. I already know I am going to have to fight for some things I desire but hopefully not as much as I think.

Army wife good to hear your update, glad all is ok.
Great news jo, I am glad baby measured ok, fingers crossed for your birth centre experience.
Freya did a 5 hour sleep from 4am to 9am this morning, she's being so good! I am on antibiotics now for a uti - one thing after another at the mo.

Just thought I'd pop in and post a little update. Ethan's a little more than a month old and has been home from NICU almost 3 weeks now. I'm exhausted with the seemingly constant eating/changing, but doing well and pretty much back to normal, although not back to pre-preg weight by any means. He had his second pediatrician appointment this week and is up to 7lb2.5oz (from 5lb15oz at birth), so he is growing and gaining well and I'm very happy about that even though I'm totally sleep deprived! I hope some more babies start appearing for you ladies now... and I know it's SO annoying to hear, but try to sleep now while you still can (even if it's uncomfortable!).

Midwife went great! Baby is almost at negative one station and I have begun thinning out but I haven't started to dilate yet. Baby is head down and trying to turn anterior so doing some "spinning babies" to help baby turn.
My midwife is going to let me have the birth I want but if for some reason she can't be there the other two doctors will let me as well but one will try and have me push on my back. The nurses however will be told my desire and will support me and I cant push on my back unless I want to.
Anywho.. there ya go lol

Ahhh hope you girls are ok, I know exactly how the waiting feels and gets harder if your due date comes & goes. Hang in there and keep busy but rest plenty if you can, it won't be much longer now!
Can't wait for news

I am seriously ok with waiting still. My third tri has been so crazy with the move that I feel like I didn't get to enjoy it properly. However I wish I could sleep. I find I wake up at 7 am no matter if I want to or not.
I am doing ok and just glad to hear baby is where he/she should be at this point. However I am getting excited to not see an empty crib.
4 to 6 weeks left holy cow!
