At you next Dr.S appt I would assume...
I'm 33 weeks and have an appt on monday.
It's been 2 weeks since my last appt. I
think they start to check just in case you
might be dilating too soon.
I'll let you know on monday if he checked
me!! Lol
i'm so nervous!!

I had my last appointment at 35 weeks and
I don't go back until i'm 37 weeks (36
now) but I haven't been check at all. I'm
assuming that she'll do it at my next
appointment since i'll only have 3 weeks
until my due date. Everyone keeps saying
that it really hurts when they check you
so i'm not in any rush to find out.

I have to ask with my docs and with macy
my doc only checked only once cuz I wanted
to b induced and she wanted to see if it
was possible.
As for how they check they put on a glove
lube up two fingers with surgical lube and
stick um in ya and push doen on your
belly. With macy it hurt but with liam it
hasnt really it ca nb a lil incomfy
especially afterwords cuz they use so much
lube and it comes back out.

Oh jeez.. Nothing to look forward too lol
I was just wondering..
I am 32 weeks.. Almost 33 right now.. I
had a doctors appt last thursday, excaly a
week ago.. Which I couldnt make it to, I
couldnt help it, I was stranded almost an
hour away lol and I called to reschedule
the recpetionist said no.. She told me to
come in tues or thurs between 9 and 3
because it was important the dr see me..
So I go thursday morning around 9:30..
And waited till 12:30 and still didnt get
to see the Dr.. So I left.. I had to be
at work, I cant afford to lose my job or I
cant afford my baby..I went back today
(thurs) and even showed up 5 min before
they opened.. Only to see that there was
already 20 ppl ahead of me.. I asked the
receptionist if she thought there was
anyway I would be in to see him on time to
get to work.. She said no.. So I left..
Im not wasting my whole day there again!
They shouldnt quadrouple book there
appointments.. So I called from work
today to ask if she could please just
reschdule my appointment.. She says no
she wont do it, tells me to get there
right now.. I tell her im at work, ive
waited there long enough, I cant leave
work, if she could please reschedule me..
She basicly told me im caca outta luck,
told me as of 3pm today my dr was going on
vacation again (this is the 4th time since
ive been seeing him) and wont be back for
2 and a half weeks.. So now im go ing to
be over a month without an appointment..
And be over 36 weeks by the time I see him
again.. And he has already told me he
expects I will have the baby around 36 -
38 weeks so im kinda freaking out.. I
wish the receptionist wasnt sucha b*tch
lol... My job is oon the line, I couldnt
just get up and leave cuz she said
so..Ugh...

Dilating

I'm shocked that you get checked to see if
your dilating when you have had no sighns
of labour or problems! I am so glad I
dont live in the states because when ever
I see a baby being born over their it
seems very invasive ( women hooked up to
i.V's and monitors) over here our womens
hospitals are midwifery lead so you are in
charge and only if there is a problem do
obs get involved, we are encouraged to
have acitive labors with birthing balls
and pools which are available at the
hospital. And they defiantly dont check
to see if your dilated unless there have
been problems or your in labor. Why do
they check you if there has been no
problems or your not in labor as it is not
a very nice thing to have.
