Please, just shoot me.

in Pregnant after 35

Oh my God, I'm about to jump out the friggin window.

Of COURSE the second I get to the doc, no contractions, no nothing, no thumping, niente.      I'm on the fetal monitor to check out everything.    Charlie is in fabulous shape, havin a dance in there, great heart beat, and Mommy just looks like an ASS.

Not shockingly - my doc checked and said "well, honey- you're shut up TIGHT and so... I'm going to have to say that the good news is that you have time and that baby looks amazingly fabulous."

I'm home, after my husband said on the way out "uhm.... Mexican?"   I said "hell YES. "     I ate the spiciest stuff I could handle, and then had a big coffee with a triple shot of espresso, and now I'm on the couch basically PISSED OFF and still knocked up.

*sigh*.

Thanks so much for all your good wishes this morning.     I just feel like an ASS because I have no idea what to be expecting.    THe Ob was amazing, she said, "honey- given the labor you had/didn't have last time?   How *could* you know.    Don't worry.   We love to see you here regardless, you always make us smile."     I thought - oh good, i'm thrilled i could make you all smile by peeing in a cup today and going home with sciatica all down my right leg..   Yippee.

:/

Christine

    UGH!  I guess Miss Charlie is going to come out when SHE is ready, and not a moment before...

    Sounds like you have a wonderful OB!  That's gotta help at least!

    Confused woman what the heck, I thought you were in the process of serving Charlotte her eviction notice.  I kept checkin in to see if there were any updates...go eat a bannana split or something, bribe her, I'am sure she will comply!  Good to hear from you tho.

    Looks like she's comfy in there, unfortunately. hooray for Mexican! Your OB does sound great, and at least you got to check on things. I think Charlotte may be waiting for her due date though. Tongue Tied

    Ugh! Tongue Tied

    Sorry Charlotte didn't want to leave her cozy home... hopefully the spicy Mexican food will move her out soon. But I guess she's a stubborn little girl and will make her entrance when she's good and ready. Huh?

    I'm sorry things aren't getting going. I agree w/PP...at least your OB is nice. The NP I have had to see when they have wiggled me in - makes me feel like a total dumb@ss - even though my OB's nurse insisted I go in. So at least you have a great OB.

    I think I might want to jump out of a window too after a triple shot of espresso. If you don't go into labor I sure hope you can get some sleep tonite. Soon......

     PS. You need to take your laptop to the hospital. You know we will be anxiuosly awaiting your news & story of Charlie's birth.

    Thanks ladies....  I just feel like such a FAILURE.   I obviously can't trust my body to know what it's feeling and what it isn't - so now I'm absolutely certain that I won't have any idea when I actually go into labor at this point.    I simply refuse to go one more time without being certain, so unless my water breaks, Im just not calling anyone anymore until the 12th.   

    I'm really surprisingly depressed right now. :/

    Christine,

    It is very normal to feel this way, we have all gone to the doc because of something or another.... What you felt is real enough that you thought you had to go, we all trust our guts and our feelings especially (i'm certain) when it comes to something as important as child birth.  If you have to go 20 more times... please go and don't feel guilty.   This happens to everyone and it seems like you have a very supportive doc.  so please don't feel bad, this is completely normal.  I wish you a good nights rest and hopefully sooner than later, we'll get to meet little Charlotte.

     take care

    Oh, no, hon - I was certain this was "it" for you. I'm so sorry to hear it didn't turn out that way. And as much as I love my OB, I'm coveting yours right now. She sounds like an absolute gem!

    Here's my confession of the day in a feeble attempt to at least make you smile:  I peed all down my leg at the doc's today when giving my urine sample.  I used half their little wipes sanitizing myself and the floor.

     Hang in there, sweetheart!

    LOL.... I came out of the bathroom with my pee cup yesterday and announced to the office that I'd been there officially too many times now.    I successfully peed in the cup without getting a drop OUTSIDE the cup, or on my hand.

    .. you know it's been too long when you're perfected peeing in a dixie cup.

    Christine... still really depressed this morning.

    Wow!  I guess this is just practice for being a patient parent : ).  And, so funny about your pro-peeing skills!  That's a good skill to have!!  GOOD LUCK!!!
