13th Appointment

We had our weekly appointment today. I only gained 2 pounds this week. I'm up to 171. Grand total so far of 47 pounds!
I had my 2nd internal done today and I only dilated 1/2 cm more in 1 week. Total I am 1 cm dilated and -1 station ( which means that Riley has moved herself down lower into my pelvis) Last week she was a -3 station. I am making progress but it is a slow moving train. Our doctor told us that she is on call this weekend and would love to see us in labor & delivery. She told us to go home and have sex to get things moving. She says that semen (which contains prostaglandins) can stimulate contractions. Who knew!
