So after waiting an hour and a half in a dreadfully hot waiting room, we finally got to see Dr. Lafranca. I guess they make you wait that long if you are a work in.
Of course my blood pressure was "a little on the high side" (140/90) so she wants me to continue staying on bed rest, and coming in to the office twice a week, instead of once, so we can keep a close watch on it. She says it's not bad enough to get the baby out now,but if it were to be a little higher then things could change. She advised us to purchase a home blood pressure machine, and I have to go back this Thursday and calibrate it with theirs.
She checked my cervix again, and I was so much better with the nerves. No dilation as of yet. When I go next week I'm going to have to see one of her partners since she's on vacation, and I will probably be more nervous- and he's a male doctor. She told me that we will probably induce the later part of the week of April 20 depending on how Jonah is doing and what the BP is, or we might just wait til closer to the due date. So if he doesn't decide to come on his own between now and then, then Dad will definitely be here- which is what I'm wishing for.
