NST Monday, Thursday I have Endocrinologist, and Friday I have my last regular OB appointment..Then if he doesn't come on his own I'm having him at 7:20 Monday (The 3rd) morning!!!
39 week checkup on Wednesday, and it's my last week of work! I really hope to get most of my crap finished up Monday so I can go into labor and know everything is as good as it will get. If I haven't made anymore progress by Wednesday, I'll be a little bummed.
Regular weekly on Wednesday st 37+2. Hoping all the BH I've had has softened the cervix a bit because DH won't let me soften the cervix with sex. Hahaha. Maybe he will at full term, but he doesn't want her coming early so he won't touch me. Lol. I tried so hard last night and he just rolled over and said "goodnight! Keep that baby in there!"
He's right though. The longer I can work up to my last day the more money I make, and we still want to make it to our breastfeeding class on 4/5!
Regular appointment Tuesday at 39 weeks. First cervix check so really hoping things are happening. OB said she can also strip my membranes at this appointment if I want. I'm thinking I'll have her do it if there's even a chance it will help put me into labor. I'm getting really impatient to meet this little man...
My 39 week and LAST APPOINTMENT tomorrow morning!!!! How did the time fly so fast?? Then 730 csection on Thursday morning. I'm nearing the finish line ladies!!
Growth ultrasound at 35 4 days this week. I'm so envious of getting to meet their babies so soon, it still feels forever away since I'm due at the end of the month.
Regular OB appointment today at 37+5. Hoping that I've made some progress! I've been having tons of irregular contractions and been super crampy so here's hoping. I need to be at 3 cm by my appointment on the 4th for her to break my water and induce me to hopefully avoid the RCS!
I also realized that I completely forgot to get my TDAP, so I'm going to try and get that done this week, too. I know before 37 weeks is ideal, but hopefully she will still get some antibiodies before delivery and from BF.
@SnarkasaurusRex - Don't feel bad about forgetting the Tdap. My OB's office was supposed to give it to me at my 36 wk appt, but they forgot, so I got it at 37wks. They said any little bit helps and didn't act like it would be an issue.
Just left my appointment at 39+1. BP was 140/75. I went into L&D Thursday night because my BP was 144/95 but they didn't make me do a urine collection. Now I wish they had because my doctor wants me to do one and it would have been easier over the weekend...So I have to go back in on Wednesday for an NST and to bring in the jug of pee. If things go fine then, we will induce on Sunday! If things don't go fine, we'll induce Wednesday. I had my first cervical check (yeah, ouch). Cervix is closed but baby's head is pretty far down.

Had my OB and NST appt this morning - baby girl was not super cooperative of course. She was moving all over on the way over there and then basically went to sleep on the machine. Had to drink a ton of ice cold water and eat some crackers to get her moving again. Had some pretty intense contractions while on the monitor and the OB offered to check me but I don't think it's true labor so declined. We will check next week for sure since that one could make a difference on whether I have to go in over night for an induction or not the following week. Almost there!
Had slight protein in my urine and high (for me) BP as well as higher swelling than usual at my appointment of Friday so ob had me do a 24 hour collection Sunday morning til this morning. So, should have results of that later today and either talk about scheduling induction if things come back off or if things look good i'll have a normal weekly appointment later this week.
Also have a chiropractor appointment tomorrow - yay!
Appointment Thursday at 36+5 with nurse practitioner! Last week at 35+5 I had my GBS test, cultured taken and my first cervical check. She said I am high and closed so I'm not going to have them check again until my appointment on 37+5.
Last OB check in on Friday @ 38+6. Then our scheduled c-section will happen sometime next Monday morning, @ 39+ 2 (assuming she still is breech, which she still is right now). EEKKK! Only ONE week left! They won't give me a time until the night before, but I am second on the schedule. Very excited to meet baby girl!
Regular weekly appointment on Tuesday at 37+3. Trying to decide if I want a cervical check. I know they don't really mean anything. But, if I was like 4 cm I might start the 1 hour drive to the hospital a little sooner. And also I am just geeky about it all and want to know. I am pretty sure I will do one at my 38 week appointment next week. I don't know. What do you guys vote? oh, my GBS test from last week is negative, so hooray for one less thing to think about.

@mrsstuessy I'm thinking personally of skipping my 37 week c check and getting the 38 week one, and stagger them. My 36 week one was a simple 1cm dilation so I doubt waiting an extra week will show that much difference for me. But as a doula I'm sure it is pretty fun for you to know the details. So I vote no only because mine was so uncomfortable that I wouldn't encourage you to do it even though you've been there, done that.
@HGRich I am leaning towards no today just because I really don't feel like anything is happening so I doubt it is. I should add that cervical checks have never been bad for me. I mean, it isn't like they are so fun that I want one every day. But, they don't hurt or anything. At least they haven't before.

@mrsstuessy, personally I like to know if I'm making progress so I prefer to get checked. That's just me, though!
Had my weekly @36+4 today. GBS from last week came back negative, and in 6 days I've progressed from <1 cm to 2 cm and 50% effaced. I just have a few more things at work to finish up and then this baby is welcome to come at any time! Especially since s/he is currently quite large and will be around 10+ lbs if I make it to 40 weeks. Ain't nobody got time for a blown out vagina.
My only appts this week are with the osteopath this afternoon and then a pedicure tomorrow and hair appt Thursday! My last routine OB appt is on Monday next week, crazy!
Weekly appts start this week Thursday, 35+5! GBS check, so they are going to go ahead and do a cervical check as well, which I don't mind. I'm noisy, and just want to know, even though I'm fully aware it means nothing, and I really want this baby to bake as long as possible.
36+1 appointment today (last of my 3 week appointments) Found out I need to start taking Iron pills and realized I forgot to ask abut the strep b results which I assume to be negative if they didn't say anything to me. Had a cervical check done, I was nervous but it wasn't bad. All he said was that I was not significantly dilated and my cervix has started to soften. I wanted numbers! everyone has been posting theirs and I have none Also had a measurement scan done and boy is estimated to be 7 pounds 6 ounces so on track to be 9 pounds 6 ounces if he arrives on his due date, but we'll see.
@aboxofchocolates my first check was also at 36+1 and I had no numbers at that appointment or the next. She told me on Monday (38+1) I was 1cm but I feel like she was just being nice, so ur definitely not the only one!
Just had a routine checkup today at 36w1d. Baby is still super active and everything looks great! The only thing they brought up was the fact that my placenta has an extra piece, so we'll just need to make sure it all comes out at delivery. My cervix is still closed and my dr could feel baby's head through my cervix which was surreal haha. I was also pleased to know that I'm going to be given a chance at a vaginal delivery since they feel my pelvis can handle her large size and larger head. Of course, if I need to have a c-section then it is what it is...as long as she is safe in the end. All in all, it was just a good visit
@aboxofchocolates have you taken iron before? If you just get the regular stuff be prepared for some BM issues. I think you can get extended release iron that helps with them.

@aboxofchocolates that's about all the info I got from my first cervical check too and I was super disappointed not to get numbers, and that was at 38 weeks. I'm going to ask for another one at my last routine appt @ 39+4 and make sure I get numbers!
Just got back from my follow-up from Monday. Initial BP read was high, then was on the fetal monitor for about 20 minutes. Apparently I had a contraction that I didn't feel while on the monitor but baby looks good. Dropped off my 24-hour urine (by the way if you pee a lot and have to do one of these, ask for two collection containers...had to sacrifice two water bottles). Doctor checked BP again and it had come down. So unless the urine results come back poorly this afternoon we're on for a Sunday induction!

No c check for me. Not interested yet, but, I get the FTMs wanting to know. I also live 5miles from my hospital so, I'm not worried about the drive over even if I was pretty far along. I peed in the cup, did GBS swab and had to give blood for last checks. Blegh. I'm so over these appointments.
Also, had a growth scan u/s yesterday. It was great to see her since we haven't since our a.s. at 20 weeks. Her hands were on her face and her face is in my pelvis so, no cute pics. She is small but, not undersized at 5+lbs. I have another 4 weeks to bulk her up so, I'm not worried. My guess, would be my belly continues to measure off from the Oh-So-Scientific-Measuring-Tape. It was my experience with my first. She was born a healthy 6.12.
