ok, I really don’t mind telling all the details of an appointment cuz i’m not easily embarrassed but I won’t devulge much in case u readers would rather be spared. anyway, I’ll just say today was the first internal exam, he tested for group b strep ( u women who’ve had this done, let’s just say i didn’t know what was coming) and the man was brutal. and I T - H U R T - L I K E - A - B I T C H !!!!! but i’m over it now. :)
now for the news….
I’m 50% effaced and 1cm dialated. He said I will never make it to my due date and thinks I’ll have the baby within the next 2 or 3 weeks. EEEEEP!!!
He said to me “congradulations, you’re a perfect candidate for a vaginal birth. blah blah blah you’re like my wife…” LOL! and then he shook my hand. what a dork. I should have shaken his hand with a vice hold to take revenge on all that pain.
I’ve been having tons of contractions these last few days so i’m thinking he’s right. not real labor of course but a lot of them at any rate. after the exam i had like 5 of them within 2 hours. and some of them are getting more painful than usual. So now i’m in a rush to get everything done that has been left undone. some of it will have to go undone tho. unless the baby can stay put longer and make a liar out of the dr. :)
Damn! I gotta tell my mom a about that, so she can figure out what to do about the carseat..
Reply to grocerynipplesheh.. dennis was asking me about that today. We went to a hospital tour on saturday (the hospital i’m delivering at) and the nurse emphasized to everyone that was there that they won’t let any baby leave the hospital unless there’s an infant carseat installed. we kinda wanna get it asap - for peace of mind because that’s a big missing piece. but like i said, if ur mom can’t get it right away, that’s fine she could get us something else if she wants to and we’ll go ahead and get it this week. no big deal. :)
