36 week appointment

in April 2013 Moms

So this entire pregnancy I have been so sure that this little girl is going to come early.  Just had a really really strong feeling about it.  Well, last night was the first time the doctor has checked for progress.  Baby girl is definitely head down and at what she called minus 2, but I am sealed up tight.  My oh so loving husband asked if she thinks my due date is still correct (4/24) and the doctor informed me that I can probably not expect an April baby.. she thinks I will go at least 10 days late.  After she left the room, I broke out in tears. 

I am just so ready for this pregnancy to be over!  I have had severe morning sickness every single day and it won't go away until she comes.  Oh and my blood pressure was up again last night and I had protein in my urine so I'm stuck doing the 24 hour urine test again.  

 Thanks for letting me rant.. I know that baby girl will come when she's ready and I am more accepting to it today than I was last night.

    I was sick all day during my last appt and broke down in tears in front of the nurse. I'm sorry you are having a rough time...I hope next time you get some progress.  These last few weeks are the hardest!

    I am pretty sure your Dr has no way of knowing that your baby will be "at least 10 days late". What made her say that? Because you aren't dilated at 36 weeks? Um, you could dilate overnight to 23 or even more cm, baby could drop anytime, etc. Not saying y

    I know exactly  how  you feel.  It is frustrating hearing that you aren't making the progress you hope for.  If it helps at all, I was told the same things (baby is really low but no effacement or dilation yet), and that he would co

    I'm surprised your dr will let you go 10 days over with high bp and protein. I have been dealing with high bp too and my dr is talking about inducing at 39 weeks. I know not everyone believes in/wants an induction, but it's something you could discuss. <

    My doc told me it could be another couple weeks when i was 38 weeks with DD. My water broke the next day! Pretty sure she was at 2 station too. They never know for sure!

    I feel your pain. I am so ready for this pregnancy to be over. All my joints hurt and I feel like an old woman. I want LO out! 

    I agree that it is suspicious that your doctors thinks you will be over so far in advance. You have four week

    My doctor makes these random comments all the time, at 32 weeks he told me I had virtually no chance of going full term then today 36 weeks 2 days he commented that ftm's rarely go before 40 weeks. Sometimes I feel like he's just talking to talk...

    I am due April 23, but I feel like LO isn't going to come until May. I had my 36 week appointment and I am completely closed too. I guess we will just see how each week goes by. Hopefully we will see our LO's in April!
