Nothing's happening!
So I saw the doc on Friday and he said that nothing is happening. But, after telling him about how my hands have been going numb every second, he decided it would be a good idea to test me for preeclampsia. They drew blood and gave me a huge container to collect my urine. All day today, for 24 hours, I have to collect my urine and transfer it to this container and bring it with me to my appoitment tomorrow. I don't know when I'll have the results, but the doc said this would be a reason to deliver. I don't have high blood pressure and I'm not too swollen, 2 of the major symptoms, but I guess he just wants to be sure which I'm fine with. I'm not even going to be seeing him tomorrow and might not see him until next week. I would really like to talk to him about inducing and how long we would have to wait before going that route. I'm 16 days away and nothing is happening yet! I really don't want to go past my due date, but I also want Jack to be ready and I want it to be natural. Inducing labor is generally more painful and lasts longer but if that's what we have to do, then let's do it!
