Dr's Reaction To "Progress"

in May 2012 Moms

My OB was giving me the standard spiel about if my waters call them and we can discuss options about waiting or coming into the hospital...when to come in if labor starts. You know, all the usual stuff. 

Then, she examines me. And, I'm glad I chose not to decline the internal. "Ok, let's see how..." she feels around...feels around again...the looks at me and says, "YOU'RE 3cm!!!" The look on her face is priceless. Completely shocked, and slightly panicked. Suddenly, the routine changes. If I feel even the slightest trickle, even if i think it's pee, I HAVE TO COME IN. If my membranes rupture, I'm not allowed to wait. I have to come in immediately, because "You're just gonna go". Once my contractions are timetable, and 5-1-1 (up from 3-1-1), get my butt to the hospital. She starts looking at the calendar, looking at me, looking at the calendar, looking at me. And tells me that she'll be out of town this weekend, but the other doctor's and staff are great.  I'm kind of laughing because, I did this with DD, too, and nothing happened for three weeks.  But I'm definitely listening to her. It's not every day you see a 20year OB freak at her patient's progress. She's the expert, not me. And, who knows, maybe she can feel my membranes bulging or something.

    LOL. Mine did the same thing two weeks ago. And last Friday I was 4cm 85% and she said I may be having a baby this weekend and if I had anything timeable to go to the hospital. Unfortunately, she was wrong. Like you this is baby #2 and I did the same thing with baby #1 and they induced.  I go tomorrow morning to be checked again. I'm 38w5d.  I hope you have better labor luck than me so far! Glad to hear everything with baby was good though.

    Sounds like a great visit!  My midwife won't check again for another 2 weeks but I'm hoping that I don't make it that far...  Hopefully we'll be hearing your birth story soon!

    Good luck, I hope your baby comes soon for you.  My Dr. was suprised when she did my internal on Tuesday because I was so hight and closed last Thursday and when she checked I was low soft and opening.  She said boy those contrations are doing something.  We will have to watch you.

    Yay! Sounds like great news. My dr. wouldn't check/sweep me today but will on Monday if I make it that far. I am jealous you got checked :P

     GL!!! Hope it's fast from here on out for ya!

     Is your baby still chillin' on your right side? (mine does the same..with his head at my hip) but I am pretty sure he is finally centered.

    Yup! Totally crashed on the right side, but his head is still locked and loaded. She said he's in a perfect position. So, makes you wonder if he'll come out with a crick in his neck! I'm thinking I'll end up having to be induced. I was really hoping he'd come out this weekend so my sister can see him before she leaves. :(
