Miggy Update

Went to my ob-gyne today and had an IE. I'm now at 2 cm (from 1 cm last Saturday). At least we are making progress. :) She said if I don't go into labor until Saturday (Feb. 12), I would have to be admitted in the hospital and induced. Having the cervix open for a long time is not good as it becomes exposed and susceptible to infection. We are praying that I will go into labor by Saturday... Yesterday, I felt a bit worried, what if my cervix won't fully dilate? I found out that there are cases wherein the cervix doesn't dilate to the required 10 cm, as with the case of one of our HR managers, ROJ. Hers only dilated to 3 cm, so she delivered through c-section. In some, the cervix doesn't dilate at all, as with my bestfriend, Ese. She was induced (for labor to start) but was not responsive, cervix dilation did not happen, hence, c-section delivery.

Paul, Naynay and I are just continuing to pray and hope that I will have a normal delivery. I'm also thinking about my kuhmareng Marge's case. Before she gave birth, she was 1 cm for one week, then she went 3 cm and that's when labor started. She gave birth to her baby boy Bach through normal delivery. And boy, was he big, he was around 8 lbs! Idol ko nga yang si Marge, eh! Haha She's petite but she was able to endure it. Imagine, 8 lbs!

Anyway, so after my check up, Naynay and I went straight to SM, had lunch and did a lot of walking. We went home late afternoon already, then I walked and walked some more inside our apartment's compound. Good thing I could still access our wifi within the compound, so I wasn't that bored while walking back and forth in the area. :)

Hay, we're almost there, Miggy. We're almost there. I can't wait to see you and hold you. Your daddy is so excited, too! More excited than I am, actually. See you very, very soon, anak.
