I had an ob appointment today. I was so confident! I even put my suitcase in the car because I was certain that I would be sent straight from the doctor's office to the hospital. hahahahahahahaha NOT
I started off with a NST. Of course our little bugger has moved non-stop for the past couple days, but doesn't want to move at all during the NST even when they use this vibrating buzzer thing on my belly. No reaction. Stubborn little wench. 20 minutes later and they are satisfied that she is doing okay. Glad I brought a book with me.
Then I get to see another ob in the practice. He measures my belly and remarks on how big my baby is. Yes, I know she is a giant butterball turkey. Thank you. I tried to convince him my water broke last night, but then had to admit that I really just peed on myself. Sigh....
He does a physical exam and guess what...he doesn't think I'm dilated AT ALL! What????? What happened to my "maybe" 2cm? I knew Dr. C was lying!
I have another appointment on Thursday to see how my amniotic fluid is holding up and to measure the baby. He also wants to put a plan in place for next week. Plus I have to go to the hospital over the weekend for another NST. (Paul and I enjoy playing the game "Guess how much Tricare has shelled out for this pregnancy." Current guestimate $30k+)
At least there is a good bakery by the hospital. I'll tell you what though I am not doing anything else to try to start labor on my own because apparently nothing is going to work so I'm just not gonna worry about it. Emma will come out when the ob pulls her out. Maybe she'll be born on 03/03...Paul should be able to remember that date! lol
As much as I enjoyed reading this entry, and all your other entries, the lose-the-baby-weight girl in me only saw the words "there is a good bakery by the hospital."
ReplyDeleteI missed baked goods.
Keep your chin up, she'll be here soon!
