38 Week Appt

So...I went to the doctor yesterday and it didn't go very well again.  She didn't like that I didn't poke myself this week.  I don't want to relive it all, but it ended with me agreeing to do my pokes so she wouldn't order me to the hospital to do testing.  Ug, I just wanted out of there.  I don't know why I keep seeing her.  The nurse even told me to see a different doctor.  I love the nurse.  So if I make it to next week's appointment, at least I won't be seeing this lady again!

She asked me if I wanted to set an appointment to be induced next week.  I told her I didn't want to be induced and she didn't push it.  She did check me and said I'm 50% effaced, 2.5 centimeters, and he's at a 0 station.  She doesn't think it'll be much longer.  I'm totally ready to hold my little guy!

I feel so bad for you. Is sounds like poking yourself is completely dumb.
I hope you go into labor SOON, and then next time switch to a different doctor!

Your doctor sounds frustrating!! Are you hoping the baby comes before Christmas or after? The last couple months are the worst! You are so close and so far at the same time! I love your stocking and car seat! I've been thinking about redoing my car seat. Do you think it is worth it? Hope you have that baby soon, so you can enjoy Christmas without worrying if you will go into labor or not on Christmas!

Good luck Ruthann. Hope the delivery all goes well. I will be excited to see if the third is a clone too. You have such cute boys.

I can't believe how frustrating your doctor is! I'm glad you won't see her anymore. It seems like it's stressing you out more than u need to be. I hope Oliver comes this week and she doesn't deliver him..I think I would yell and scream until she left the room if she tried to even come in. hahaha! Good luck! And really if you don't feel like poking..don't. lol

Ruthann, I can't even tell you how important it is to love your doctor... even if you're about ready to pop, make sure you love your doctor. I drove like an hour to have a perfect birth. My first doctor I saw basically seemed like she wasn't going to help me with the birth I wanted, so I switched half way through the pregnancy. I don't know, just a thought :) It's NEVER too late if you're sincerely not comfortable!!!

By the way, you're going to do great! Make sure Devin knows to be your advocate and he'll plow down any dummy in your way, I have no doubt. I can't wait to hear your birth story :)
