Current mood: impatient
Today was my 39 week check up. The big treat for me was that Adrian got to go this time YAY!!! His work schedule never allows him to go but today it was later in the day and he got to go.
They checked her heart beat and she was a very good baby and didn't squirm away. They also checked her position and said that shes right where she needs to be and shouldn't be moving out of that position (which is a relief because I was scared she might be breech).
I also got "checked" for the first time, to see if I am dialated. But of course my predictions were answered... no progress. This little one definately is taking after her Daddy and being stubborn and late! The exam HURRRRRT too which sucked cuz all that for news I didn't wanna hear.
I am sooooo BEYOND! uncomfortable now and its finally affecting my mood. I am always moody now and any little thing seems to set me off. .. basically anything Adrian does haha. Poor guy... but I think he is lucky, I didn't get this way till recently. I coulda been this way the whole pregnancy! I think this heat wave isnt helping either. Being swollen, hot, suffering from bad pelvic pain, unable to move around easily, lack of sleep, practice contractions etc would make any person moody I guess. Plus I want her out so I can see her and hold her!!! Its like having an AWESOME xmas present you can't open or play with! The waiting is horrible!
Anyways back to the appointment. We discussed what the next step is, and if I don't have her in the next week and a half. The doc mentioned that they do not believe in keeping women pregnant much longer after their due date and that by week 41 they plan on doing some tests and inducing me! Thank goodness, some light at the end of the tunnel. Though I do not want to be induced, I want to make sure that she remains safe and nothing happens to her from being in there too long.
That was about it. All went well. My next appointment is on her due date July 1st. We will see what happens then. Till then I need to rest, I am getting more braxton hicks and they dont feel good sitting here. Plus its 80 degrees in this room and 12:30 at night! Having a hot laptop on my lap isnt helping. I need ice water!
