Some explained but not much changed
Went to the OB today. She better explained the amnio results. In order for his lungs to be considered mature he needed to score a 55 and a "positive" in another category. As of last Friday (when the test was done) he scored a 20 and a "negative". I guess these numbers can change pretty rapidly and that caucasian males tend to develop their lungs later between 37-39 weeks (and today we arrived at 37 weeks). She expects the specialist to do another amnio tomorrow or early next week. She gave me her cell # to call her with the results so they could schedule an induction based on the results. We explained to her that we were in no hurry as long as it was ok for the baby we would wait as long as he needed. She seemed to relax when we told her and she said that we would wait then to schedule the next appointment based on the next two visits to the specialist. I am now dialated between 1 and 2 centimeters and about 75% effaced.
