Write a new blog

19-8-2009 - 35W 5D dr. appt.

My mood while writing this blog:
in pain

I just got back from my dr. appt. It went ok. I have only gained 2 lbs. since my last appt. so that makes 4 lbs in 4 weeks. That's a LOT better than i have been doing! I thought i might make it to 250 by the time this pregnancy is over, but it will be close. I'm at 241 lbs. today. I have 4 weeks & 2 days left to go till my due date!

They did the group b strep test today which wasn't too bad, but it kind of hurt. The doc( a guy) was like it's just a q-tip & i was like have you ever had a q-tip in your vagina?? No...didn't think so. I think it just hurt bc it's dry & pointy or something, but oh well.

He checked my cervix & said i wasn't dilated or anything :( BOO! Silas is head down though. My b/p has been really good through the pregnancy.

I know i've been complaining a lot about my shoulder blade, but it is just KILLING me! It's really the muscle beneath my shoulder blade. I couldn't sleep last night b/c of it. I tried every position imaginable & tried using pillows in different places & nothing helped at all! I've tried baths, Hubby massaging it, shower head massager, etc...nothing helps. It hurts so bad i just want to cry & i really hope it stops soon or i'm going to go crazy!

Anyways. I've had more pressure here lately & lots of cramping the past few days. I was having irregular contractions Monday night i think it was.

I'm ready to just have him in my arms & have this pregnacy thing be over with. I know i'll miss being preggo & feeling him move & knowing he's all mine while he's in me, but i'm just getting too miserable! I'm still scared to death of delivery, but i'm sure i can do it...not that i have a choice anyways :)

Well, i hope everyone is having a great day! Congrats to everyone who has had their babies already!!

Hey Chrissy, sounds about the same as my "36 week" appt. which was at 35 weeks 4 days. I was disappointed because I showed no signs of softening/effacing or anything. But baby is still healthy, BP is still good, weight gain on track, so guess we're doing alright! I wish I felt contractions because I want to start dilating already though!

Soon we will be worrying about our babies and not our aches and pains. And holy shit I can't wait. I am really sick of pregnancy too. I am jealous of all these women having their babies!! I wouldn't be ok with my baby needed to stay in the NICU so I have to just keep saying that to my self. But pretty son he will be big enough I will know he would be ok on the out side and be giving him verbal eviction notices.

lol ! you sound exactly like me ! i have had that same muscle hurting thing under my shoulder blade, but it's only my left side. feels like my lung is attached to my rib & they won't let go. i had to do that strep thing to, but they let me swab myself, so it didn't hurt near as bad as i bet your did. guys really just don't get it, do they ?

Sorry to hear about your shoulder, it really just adds to the aches and pains of the pregnancy at this point and i am sure its quite frustrating. ve every right to be nervous about labor, i have done it before and i think i am more nervous this time!

I'm happy your appt went well overall...minus the strep test! lol I know we are all miserable with aches and pains. I hope the next few weeks fly by. Try to cherish these last preggo moments (I know easier said than done) :smile

Yes, time will move fast enough. I'm glad everything went well though. I'm sorry about your shoulder, but hopefully with a massage or something similar it will feel better. I too am nervous about the delivery, but at least you know he is head down. I'm not sure what position my girl is in. When I get nervous though I keep thinking that it is only one day (hopefully) and you can do anything for one day. I also just met a friend who had a baby a year and a half ago and she said it wasn't bad at all so that made me feel better. I'm more worried about actually taking her home and then trying to take care of her. Everyone on this site has been so supportive by just saying that babies don't have expectations either so it is hard to mess things up.

You should go and get a professional massage. I am a massage therapist and if you can't really afford it go to a massage school and get one there, they always have good training and their teachers are there to help out the students. But once they give you a massage they can tell you different things to try to loosen up that muscle.

thats great everything is going well! About being scared about delivery.. once you get there and realize that you will meet your little guy very very soon, the fears subside and for me excitement set in.

Have you tried heating pads? They have some icy hot pads also that seem to work pretty well. Either that or maybe a chiropractor would be able to help with the pain. I understand about your frustration. I never seem to have more aches and pains than when I am pregnant! Good luck on the Strep B (I am waiting for results too) and don't worry, you will be dilating here really soon! Take care!
