@emmacake08 they did the test but it doesn't leak if I'm laying down, and I had just gotten a shower and went to the bathroom beforehand. FTM so I didn't know how they were going to test and I didn't know that since it's such a small amount that the shower, the laying down (for the monitors and the test) and going to the bathroom (where I lost some) all affected them actually getting a sample. I'm pretty sure urine doesn't come out of your vagina and that I know when the last time I had sex was... Ha.
On top of the standard annoying questions, now I'm getting annoying action commentary! God forbid I shift in my seat at work, someone says "Oh, trying to get comfortable?" Or if I'm up walking at least one person will say "on your way to the bathroom, huh?"
My god, I can't make a move without someone saying something stupid! Why the hell did I think I could work up til my due date?? I want to throat punch everyone!
My in laws are here until sunday to "help." Last night they sat on the couch watching TV while I was cooking dinner with a screaming baby. Here I am running back and forth trying to comfort my daughter and not burn their food. Their reaction was to turn up the volume on the TV.
Later I had a melt down about it and DH had to have a talk with his mom about being more of a help. I can't imagine 5 more days of this. This is not a vacation people! If you are going to be here you better get off your ass and do something!
Also... When my MIL is holding the baby she talks to her and says things like "your momma just doesn't know what she is doing, does she" or "your momma just isn't quick enough."
...seriously, bitch?! ~X(
Omg I would kick them to the damn curb pretty quickly!!
@mdfarmchick even if you showered, assuming you didn't douche and clean out your vagina internally, then the strip should have worked if they did yours like mine. The L&D nurse wrapped it the length of her fingers and stuck it all the way up to my cervix which did not feel great. If you were leaking, your internal vaginal walls would still have had some amniotic fluid. That being said, maybe on the small chance they missed it, if the leak is so small and slow and can't be caught diagnostically, then your OB might not be worried about it. Sometimes small leaks heal up on their own or will turn into large water breaks. I would say all this to your OB and see what their opinion is about it if you were ruptured but it isn't being caught.
Ever since my doctor scheduled my induction I've been having some serious anxiety. I wasn't induced with my first (went over EDD) and I'm usually pretty anti induction. However, seeing how my blood pressure kind of went crazy at the end here shocked me. Now...I'm obsessively researching induction stories (I know I shouldn't be doing this) and hoping mine is fairly easier because Ive progressed pretty well by myself already (3cm 80% effaced as of Friday).
Ugh.
I was right where you are (3-4cm; 80% effaced)!when I went in for my induction yesterday. I don't know your stance on epidurals but as soon as I got there I made it known I adamantly wanted one and repeatedly asked how soon I could have it. They gave it to me before any of the pain started! I was fully dilated within 5 hours and ready to push. I wasn't able to deliver naturally due to unforeseen circumstances but the induction itself went great. Try not to worry mama

Get that fucking bitch out of your house...NOW. I will happily throat punch her for you if need be
@Laurmi I have been excited for my catheter since I hit the 2nd trimester! I was pretty sad today when they removed it. It was beyond amazing to accept a bottle of water and not be apprehensive about how often it would send me to the bathroom.
I'm 39 weeks today and thought I was the only one getting annoyed but am comforted by the fact that I'm in good company! I too am annoyed by everyone telling me when they think the baby should come. My mom told me I need to wait until next week so she can get all of her errands done beforehand and my doctor keeps saying I need to hurry and go into labor. I finally told the dr today that if she had any actual tips for how I can do this, I'm happy to hear them. Of course, she had none. She also asked me to remind her if I was having a boy or girl- she said she didn't have it written in my file. WTF?? Plus, we've had an ongoing debate about how long to wait before the cord is cut. She wants to cut it right away, and I want to wait until it stops pulsing (1-3 minutes). When I pushed back and told her it was important to me to wait, that I wasn't aware of any hospital protocol preventing waiting and questioned why the rush, she responded that it was just "annoying" to wait. I wanted to tell her that it was "annoying" that she can't bother to wait an extra 1-3 minutes to respect my wishes. She finally acquiesced but said I need to "remind" her when we're in the delivery room. If she has so many patients that she can't recall the sex of my baby or my birth plan (or at a minimum, bother to look in my file for this information), maybe she shouldn't be taking on new patients? Does anyone else feel disrespected by their doctor or am I just being super sensitive? I'm on the verge of going into labor and am seriously thinking about changing doctors!!!
Late to the bitchfest, but I'm sick of hearing "you look like you're going to pop", "are you having twins" and "she'll come when she's ready"..... I want to throat punch people who tell me these things.... Especially the twin comment...
