I had two doctors appointments this week.  One on Monday, and one today.  I saw my regular doctor for both appointments.  Monday’s appointment I just got hooked up to the fetal monitors, and had some routine tests done.  Everything was fine.  Today was basically the same thing, I was hooked up to the monitor for about an hour, and I had no contractions, and the baby’s heartbeat was great.  The doctor and I did some talking, and he is thinking of inducing my labor.  I’ll be 36 weeks on Sunday, and they consider 37 weeks full term, even though most people go to 40 weeks.  He is thinking of inducing because of my placenta being in bad shape, and because of my cervix being so short, and because I’m dilated… he thinks I may be at risk for an infection because of all that.  I will go see my high risk doctor on Wednesday, to find out again how much the baby weighs, and after that appointment I’ll go back to my regular doctor.  He will decide then if he is going to induce labor.  If he does, it would probably happen at the end of next week or the beginning of the following week.  I’ll update the site next Wednesday and let you all know what he decides.
