Today was our weekly visit to the midwife. Officially Nancy was a week past her expected due date today. During the examination, the midwife observed Nancy was 2 cm. dilated now about 85-90% effaced. She also said that the baby's station is now at +1 (or below the pelvis). Only 10% of her clients progress to this point prior to being in labor.
This was all good news and signs towards a shorter labor. The baby's heartbeat was strong and the midwife measured the baby to be around 7 3/4 lbs. It seems the only thing holding back the labor at this point is a case of poison oak Nancy has on her left side. It seems Nancy got this after working in the landscaping in the front of the house last week. She was trying to be good by being on her hands and knees, holding a position that would keep the baby in anterior.
Well, we've been treating the poison oak the rest of the afternoon and it's definitely looking better. So maybe now that her body can redirect it's energy away from the rash and focus on the labor!
