39 Week Appt!!!
Posted: 01-21-08 16:58pm

Sooo...I had my 39 week appt today. (though I really make 39 weeks tomorrow...but yall know this by now!)

And he measured my belly...still at 39cm. And he proceeded to check me...

Well, as he was checking me, he asked me "have you been having any contractions/discomfort?"
And I said "nope, not at all. Well besides the bowling ball between the legs, none at all."
He says "hmmmm...." Now while he's asking and I'm answering, he's pushing down HARD on the top of my belly and wriggling his fingers around in there.

Do you think he was trying to sweep my membranes?????

Well anyways, after he finishes, he says "She's ripe and ready to go!"
And I said "well what does that mean?"
he says "your baby's head is fully engaged, your cervix is VERY thinned out, and you're dilated to about 2cm...you're on the VERGE of labor! Are you SURE you don't wanna go to the hospital today?"
I said "Doc.........I"m sure Confused "

He then gives me the protocol for contractions to head to the hospital. And I just ignored him cuz I mean come on...I think I have an idea of what to expect... Rolling Eyes

OH! And I went across the street and checked out the hospital. They DON'T have bathtubs...and you should have SEEN the look I got when I asked if I could bring a kiddie pool in...so I guess that's out...

And they'll supply me with a birthing ball, but I can bring my own if I'd like!

Nah Dani..it's a different one. I COULD have had Oni at this one, I just chose the other office!

But yea, he's such a douche when it comes to the induction thing!!

The CRAZY thing is, I was talkin to this lady in the waiting room and he REFUSED to induce her with her 1st! She was a week over due and he STILL refused!!
So I WONDER why the hell he is harassing ME about it!!???

Oh, do you think he was sweeping my membranes when he was digging up there pushing on the top of my belly. He'd never done that before when he checked me!

Seriously...he didn't say 'oh imma sweep your membranes...' so I didn't know WHAT he was doin.

But once I got up, I was like "that health questions...I BET he was tring to get my bag o water to come down so he could sweep em!!"

It was just weird cuz he was up there for a while and pushing SOO hard on the top of my belly and his fingers were just a wrigglin...he's such a...

Wow hopefully you have that little girl soon! Smile He might've been sweeping your membranes, but most doctors I'd think would tell you if they did that. And LMAO about the kiddie pool.
