At my checkup today I got hooked up to a fetal monitor for about 30 minutes. At first Cookie wasn't very active (he's more of a night owl like his daddy), but after I changed positions and drank a really gross Capri Sun (wild cherry flavor, BLECH), he started moving around.
Cookie exhibited enough movement to pass the non-stress test, and my levels of amniotic fluid were good, so my doc determined there's no immediate need for me to go to the hospital. But, he also scheduled my induction for tomorrow night. Eeep!
There's still the chance that labor could start on its own before then, but I'm not holding my breath. If nothing happens tonight or tomorrow morning, I go in at 5pm tomorrow and get some medication to help my cervix along. I then spend the night and hope that labor gets going. If it doesn't, there's talk of starting pitocin on Thursday morning.
It definitely isn't how I pictured or planned, but such is life, right? It's so crazy to think that in two days I'll no longer be pregnant!
