| 04-5-2009 - week 38 appt!!! i cant take this s%*# anymore |
My mood while writing this blog: depressed |
well last night I worked from 7p to 7am, around 5 am i ate me some cereal and the milk must of done something to me because I started to feel so sick after eating... i became very anxious I could not keep still I was a basket case at work, I would sit down then get up walk go back to my seat i was a straight mess, i started crying on the phone to my husband, that I cant take it anymore, I want her to come out now, I have told alot of you how there is a restuarant that claims if you eat there eggplant parmasean you will go into labor with 48 hours, the only reason i have not eaten there yet is because saturday is my husbands sisters graduation from college and he is going it is 4 hours away and i dont want to be in labor while he is gone!!! I swear that I think this restuarant will do the trick for me but as soon as the graduation is over I will be at the restuarant either sat night or sunday!!!!
well this morning I had an appt at 11:40am, remember i got off work at 7am i was so tired i did not want to have to wait until 11 am for an appt so i went straight to the docs office and acted as if i could be in labor and they let me be seen at that time!!!! big mistake, i saw the male doc... I hate them there are two where i go, they are nice but very short in conversation and are in and out in 2 mins!!! my 11 oclock appt was with my favorite midwife she is the BOMB i love her... so im being seen by the male boring doc.... he did not check me im 38 weeks and they said they will check me at 38 weeks, he did a speculum exam on me because i said i felt some leaking, he told me my water did not break, and pulled the speculum out thats it no checking me or nothing.... so i asked him if i am effaced at all he says 50 percent!!! but how could he know if he did not do a vag exam... can he tell from the speculum HMMM i dont know... then when i was walking out i asked if i was dilated he said "ummm no, i dont, no your not" what the hell kind of response is that!!! he did not know because he did not check me!! so i could be dilating and not even freakin know...
then what made it worse is while i was driving out, my lovely midwife was getting out of her car. I yelled to her and asked her when will she do my membrane sweep she said next week and i asked her about the eggplant to induce labor she said it works and to go eat it... i was so depressed i should have waited to see her, she would have spent so much more time with me she would have checked me and gave me all the good tips on inducing!!!!!

Tuesday, 5 May U are working 12hrs and that pregnant? WOW u are amazing, but it sucks that those male docs are so insensitive (JERKS) they will NEVER know how we truly feel when we have had enough baby aryanna -
Tuesday, 5 May wow ur still working at 38 weeks...more power to u! I'm only 35 weeks and ready to call it quits. It will come fast tho so jus let it happen. Just enjoy these last few days of peace and quiet bcuz in about a week or so you'll probably be holding ur lil one and missing being pregnant. I can't believe we're finally at the end. When i'm pregnant I hate it but when i'm not pregnant i miss it. So i'm going to try to appreciate these last few weeks bcuz this will most likely be my last pregnancy. God Sent -

Tuesday, 5 May i know how all you ladies are feeling as I had never been past 36 weeks being pregnant. That is until mr kj came along and took up residence in my womb. He stayed his behind in there for almost the whole 40 by 38 week i was through as well and I hatched my own plan for eviction. heh he he .... I did the sex thing and while his dad was gone i did nipple stimulation. Now I'm NOT claiming that it will work for all of you. I was headed in for a plan c section that tuesday. But by taking matters into my own hands i had my 8 pound 1 ounce baby boy in my arms early the next day. which was a sunday. Good luck and happy laboring ladies! indigocream -
Tuesday, 5 May its almost over...... and you get to have your vbac..... Anesha -
Tuesday, 5 May OMG I feel your pain. I am not even as far along as you and I want my baby out so bad. I feel like I would do anything ANYTHING!! Please let me know if you find anything that works! I am only 50% effaced and a fingertip dilated BLAH. But on the positive things could turn around for you today just like that!!! You could go into labor 2night! Not trying to get you excited but I did a blog yesterday cuz I was feeling discouraged about going 40+ weeks and I got several positive comments from other peoples personal experiences and labor can start just like that with absolutely no pre-dilation etc. Hang in there and keep trying. FYI - you know what irks me most? People that say Baby will come when its ready. LOL! I don't want to hear that crap. That is only partially true. There are methods that doctors use and natural methods that we can use that can speed up the process. My BP could go up today and my doc can say give her pitocin and I could have my child today. I think only women who ABSOLUTELY LOVE being pregnant and want to stay pregnant for 12 months say that. LOL. To each his own. I have gone through it being pregnant! So as for me I want out!!! krissy54321 -
Tuesday, 5 May I know how you feel, I am 1cm dilated and can't wait for my little girl to get here! I am from Atlanta too maybe I will go try the eggplant parm!! Phoenix39 -
Tuesday, 5 May I don't think tere is any good tips on inducing other then make sure there is good pain control, epidural etc... I am so glad this pregnancy is all over for me don't think I could of stand to get any more uncomfortable then I was. I say to go and eat the eggplant NOW hopefully you will have the baby before Saturday and hubby can still go to the graduation.
