39 Week Appointment
Posted: 10-26-06 13:42pm

Okay, so I went to my appointment today and I was hoping for good news.
Wellllll, that didn't happen!
He said that i'm still 1 cm. Dilated and the baby dropped more. Big freakin deal. I've been hearing that for 5 weeks. Tell me something I don't know!
He said that he's going to a conference next wednesday-friday, so I have an appointment next friday, the 3rd with another doctor at the clinic "just in case". I also have an appointment with my doctor the following monday, nov. 6th. If I don't have her by then, he'll induce.
He said that i'm not ready to be induced now, but she's too big to go more than a week overdue.
I may need a darn section if she's not due by then. Blah!
I explained to him that I needed to have her by halloween, so we can have halloween birthday parties every year. Lol (he didn't care.)
as he was leaving, he said, "see you saturday!" b/c he's on call this weekend. Very funny!
I'm frustrated that he's been telling me for a month that she'd come early and he was wrong. I wish he'd keep his mouth shut!
On a better note, i've been having contractions since last night. I never bothered to time them, but they seem about every 10-30 minutes apart. It's not that I didn't drink enough and I tried laying and moving and they're still consistent. So, hopefully this is the beginning.
Sorry so long.

Everytime I don't see a post from you for a while I assume you're off having your baby. Well, at least we know they'll be here soon! I wish doctors wouldn't say stuff like "they'll be here anyday" or "i wouldn't expect anything to happen soon", they really don't know. It just adds to the frustration. I go in on monday and i'm not expecting anything to happen before then, then I think we'll be discussing induction.

Hang in there! It really will be any day now!

Yeah, hopefully it's before I have to see that other doctor. I would love to have her halloween day.
It seems like every day is someone else's birthday. Everyone's like you're going to have her on this one's birthday or that one's birthday or your anniversary (it's saturday). It's so aggravating.
The thing that gets to me right now is everyone who's calling especially close family members to see if I had the baby yet.
They know we're going to call, why call and wake me up from a nap to see if I had her?
I can't even go to walmart without people that I know looking at me with a suprised faced saying, "no baby yet!?!?".
