I Wish I Knew How to Rupture My Own Membranes!

...Cause i'd do it!!! Silly baby is
.N.E.V.E.R going to come out!! I've been
trying to be really active (today I went
for 2 walks/runs in the snow with my dog
and mom), played with my nipples, taken
hot baths, eaten spicey foods, eaten
pineapple...Gah! I am so of waiting
ahaha...I am the most impatient person and
I know after like a week (or less) I will
be like "why didn't I enjoy my last
weeks??" haha but I just want to see her
already! And i'm so frusterated with
being dilated for almost a month, and
nothing! Plus my hips and pelvic bone is
sooo sore, it's retarded to walk or move
(which is now even worse after my long
walk/run today haha).
And my stupid doctor wont even check me
each visit because she doesn't see the
point and she thinks it will increase
infection risk. Grrr makes me mad, I
.W.A.N.T to be checked!
Anyways thanks for listening to my rant
haha.

On saturday I went to the hospital because
I was having regular contractions, but
they sent me home because they were not
strong enough. At the hospital I was
still 1-2 cm dilated, and 70-80% effaced.
I'm still getting contractions but they
are not any stronger and they're not
regular anymore :( I haven't talked to my
doctor about inducing (i have an
appointment tomorrow), but I know she wont
cause she wont even check me, and I am
only 38 weeks (39 on friday). The nurse
at the hospital was pretty sure i'd be
back in the next day or two...But nothing
so far...Hopefully soon! My moms friend
is .S.U.R.E I am going to have my water
break anytime now because today all day
i've really been able to feel the babies
head. Haha I can only hope! Water
breaking is a ticket to inducement if the
contractions are not good! Lol

It does not sound like it will be much
longer now, I understand what you are
going thru, the waiting is hell but soon
it will be over, just keep talking to her.

Kimmeh, did I read in another post that
you had trouble with lots of uti's? If
so, did they resolve themselves. I
posted on a site that you did about
protein in my urine.....It went awayfor
awhile but was back yesterday at my
appointment.....Bummer. My blood
pressure is still normal though and no
swelling.
Hope you go soon!

I had a bladder infection I think once,
and had antibiotics for it. I'm sorry
your protien came back, what are the
levels like? I haven't heard anymore on
mine, so I am taking it went away...I have
a doctors appointment today at 3:45 I can
ask for you, if you like.

Didn't you have protein in your urine
before though??? I thought you did for
some reason. Am I confusing you with
someone else? I had 1+ for 3 visits and
then I started to do clean catches and it
went away for 3 visits and then it was
trace yesterday. I know my doctors
office considers trace an insignificant
reading, but I did a clean catch and was
drinking a lot of water, so it still
concerns me. I am 34 weeks and just want
this over with. The only reason I know
it was trace is because I saw it in the
chart. No one even mentioned it to me.
Did you have this problem?

I did have protien in my urin before, and
it was like you it didn't seem to concern
the doctors too much, I guess getting
protien is normal in pregnant women, it's
just needed to be watched because it is
also common in preeclampsia. If your
blood pressure is normal then they are not
going to worry about it. But with my
protien they stopped mentioning it after a
couple visits...So I am guessing it went
away.

So you had it on more than one visit also?
About how far along were you? Do you
know what it was? Trace, 1+, 2+........I
know the important thing is the blood
pressure, but I am a worrier and I don't
like the idea that I have protein in my
urine. It makes me feel like something
more serious is wrong. Did you worry
also? Thanks for your response. Is
this your first baby? How old are you,
if you don't mind me asking. This is my
second child and I am 33.

I am 18. This is my first baby. I don't
remember exactly what dates or weeks I was
but it was in my early to mid 20 weeks
range. I don't know what my levels were,
I never asked because they didn't seem
that worried and they never just told me,
they just said they found some protien
levels in my urine and that they just
wanted to keep an eye on it. The first
time they told me they found it I worried
because they didn't explain anything to me
and I came home and looked up what it
could mean on the internet, but then I
calmed down because my doctor said that it
wasn't uncommon for pregnant women to get
and it usually means nothing.

But it was there on more than one
occasion??
Did you ever do 'clean catches'? I guess
I should stop worrying so much.

Yes it was on more then one occasion and I
have done "clean catches". I'm sure you
have nothing to worry about, and your just
upsetting yourself for no reason. Look at
it this way, your pregnancy is almost
over! Hehe you made it past all the major
hurdles, so just enjoy the rest of your
pregnancy :d

By the way, the reason I asked if you do
clean catches is because they say vaginal
secretions can cause false positives for
protein, but since I did do a clean catch,
I know that isn't the culprit........So I
was curious if you did the clean catch
proceedure as well...........In case you
wondered why I asked about it.

You mentioned you did clean catches at the
hospital....Have you had other problems
that sent you there during your
pregnancy?
How was your appointment?

I had lots of unexplaneable pain that was
really bed, so they put me on bedrest even
though the baby was fine. I guess it was
from all my ligamints and stuff
stretching.
Anyways my appointment was good. When she
felt my belly she was really shocked that
the baby was down so low, she said her
head is right in my pubic bone now and
with hearing how my hospital visit was
(still 1-2 cm dilated, and 70-80% effaced)
she said she'd put her money that i'll be
going any day now...So I am just waiting.
Me and mom went talking around the mall
and I had spicey thai noodles and started
to feel really crampy and hot and I was
getting contractions a lot while we were
walking that was slowing me down so we
came home...But in the car ride things
seemed to have calmed down (argh!).
