Doctor's Appointment Today

so im about 75% effaced and not dilated at
all
she cant even strip my membranes because
my cervix is so tight...but she said im
very thinned out..
oh and she lied to me. she had told me
before (and i had a witness) that she
would not let me go over my due date
because i have such a big baby in me. but
today she said its hospital policy that
they will not schedule inductions due to
the fact there isnt enough bed space and
they wont even schedule one if the baby is
measuring big.. they dont consider that an
emergency.
im really, really frustrated though
because the reason there is no bed space
is due to illegal immigration and people
without insurance. the hospital cant
legally turn anyone away so regardless of
the fact that it is dangerous that my baby
is getting larger and larger i still wont
be induced until after 41 weeks. which
means it will probably be likely the baby
will either be stuck and suffer shoulder
problems or i will have to get a c
section. no one in my immediate family
has ever gone into labor on there own, so
im doubtful i will.
i just want to have a healthy happy safe
delivery that is best for my baby. it
feels like it is all about money and im
not at all getting the best care for my
child. i really feel like they dont care
what is healthiest for me and my baby.
on a happy note i am really thinned out
and im losing my mucus plug so maybe she
will come on her own..
im not getting my hopes up though..
sorry its been a long frustrating hot day

Oh that sucks! We only have one hospital
in my area that delivers babies, so if a
woman were to go into labor, she'd be sol
going someplace else. The closest one is
an hour one way or 2 1/2 the other. When
.I had my daughter there were women in
labor in the hall way!!! 
I hope everything goes well for you. I am
looking forward to seeing your beautiful
little .Brianna!

thats so stupid!! If they told you they
wouldnt let you go over your due date
because Brianna was getting big, how can
they go back on that??
It makes no sense!!
Although to me you sound like your moving
along, so brianna could still make her own
way here! stay positive and lots of
***labour dust ***

yeah i think thats the most frustrating
part of it..
her saying that and telling me the dangers
of a big baby and then saying today that
they dont consider a big baby an
emergency.
its a proven fact !
errr
i hope so much shell come on her own but
im doubtful..
i actually almost think they will want me
to have a section because the hospital
makes more money that way..
hmm..

I think that doctors can sometimes be the
most frustrating people in the world. They
tell you one thing when they mean
something else, and then change their
stories. My doctor told me that she was
not going to let me go over 41 wks either.
We will see if thats the case. You would
think with all the swelling that I have,
she would be wanting to do something
sooner. My feet and legs look like
incredibly water balloons and I have been
staying OFF my feet now for a few days and
they are swollen worse and feel worse. It
really does suck. They are so swollen that
they tingle at times. That definitely
cannot be good. My hands look like they
are the size of my husbands these days
too. Ugh.. we will see. I see my doctor
this morning and I am hoping that she does
something like at least checks to see if I
am dilating or anything as I have alot of
cervical pain now. I can barely crawl my
behind out of bed and get rolled over to
get up. It totally sucks!!
I hope that you go in labour soon
Vanessa!!! I will share my labour dust
with you as I think that we are probably
feeling pretty much the same!! I am
definitely thinking about you thats for
sure.
Take care!

Well.. I had my appointment. I have trace
amounts of protein in my urine now but
nothing that they are worried about..
ARGHHHHHHHHHH lol So.. she told me that
everything with me was too perfect to
induce me. Not what I wanted to hear thats
for sure. Blood Pressure is still down so
thats a good thing.
Anyways... thought I would let you know.
Cheers!

Vanessa, how completely frustrating! You
are measuring so big already. I am sure
you brought up what she had said earlier -
saying you will be induced - what did she
say?? I would personally be livid.
