39 week appt, midwife told me

ImpatientgalImpatientgal
in 3rd Trimester

to go to a movie and "enjoy the last few weeks of being pregnant." Indifferent

I've been teary all day and that got crying again. So she stripped my membranes, suggested a prenatal massage and kept the convo to a minimum after that.

    So sorry hon. But think of it this way... your weeping may get hubby to take you to "He's Just Not that Into You."

    Or am I the only one who's been looking forward to this one?

    Hang in there!  Did you really mean "weeks?"  I first thought it said "days."  Good luck.  I think you deserve a massage!

    Absolutely. Hoping it's just my over-active imagination.

    I know, right?! I was like, um, no- there will be no "weeks"! I told her that "weeks" is not an option.

    Weeks??? What is wrong with your MW? Sweet Lord I would have melted down right then. As if 10 months isn't long enough already?

    Last few weeks? Does she expect you to keep the baby inside for awhile still or what? Are you a giraffe or something??? (14-15 month gestation)

    Try all of those labor induction techniques, even if they are just a bunch of crap. It will make you feel better.

    BTW, my dr said she would induce at 41 1/2 weeks at the latest. She said the baby should be out by 42 weeks, no exceptions. I guess it's a common medical opinion that the baby should be out by then.

    Good luck. Eat some ice cream.
