Now, don't get me wrong, I love my OB, but I just hate going to these last few appointments at the end. They just confirm that YES, you are still pregnant and uncomfortable and I'll see you in a week. Le sigh.
Yesterday's appointment was a loooong one. My appt was for 10am, so Curt met me there a little before then to sit with Max so I wouldn't have to do it alone. Thank goodness he came because we were there for over TWO hours! They called me back fairly quickly to do my weight check and blood pressure. (both were good by the way, no weight gain this week! So that keeps me at a total of about 20 lbs according to their scale.) Anyways, the nurse said they were waiting for a room to open up for my doctor so she sent me back out to the waiting room...Where she forgot about me. We finally got called back to the doctor an hour and a half later where my OB apologized for the mishap. Apparently that nurse was new and she said everyday at least one patient of hers was getting misplaced. Great. I'm SO glad that Curt was able to come with me because I can't imagine having had to keep up with Max the entire two hours. He does really well, but still, it would have been hard I think.
So she asked how I was feeling (fine) and if anything new was going on (nope, still have constant Braxton Hicks), so nothing new to worry about. She said baby was growing great and then checked my cervix. I AM SOOOOOOO not having this done again next week. It hurts so so so bad!! I guess where my cervix is so small and posterior it's hard for the OB to tell if anything is going on. She confirmed that nothing was happening in the nether regions, which I figured, because I'm not expecting any dilation at all like last time with Max. I am still hurting now...almost 24 hours later! So I'm not having that done anymore. We know that my body doesn't want to have a baby the normal way, so I think I will just refuse anymore internals and just show up on May 5th for my c-section. And unless by some miracle I happen to go into labor on my own, I will deal with that later.
Also, she said I was GBS positive. I was with Max as well. She said I would get an antibiotic if my water broke on it's own, but otherwise she isn't too worried about it because I'm having a c-section anyways. So nothing to worry about really.
So only two more appts left until Baby Day!!! She did say that I didn't have to come to my appt next week if I didn't want to. I might take her up on it, I'll see how this weekend goes.
