Appointment for 37 weeks this Wednesday. Nothing too exciting should be going on besides the cervical check. I'm hoping when she measures me that it's back to normal too instead of measuring small.
Appt today and Thursday. Ultrasound, NST and doc today, same minus doc Thursday. I don't get checks since I'm a scheduled section but I may ask today just out of curiosity sake.
Weekly OB appointment on Friday for my 37 week check-up. Just standard stuff. BP, urine and I may actually get my date for this c-section. Not holding my breath though because the hospital is a jerk and waiting until the last minute to give me an answer.

Regular appointment on Friday, will be 35w3d, so not sure if they count that as then 36 week one or not? Friday marks the start of my weekly appointments though. So, either completely uneventful or getting the butt swabbed please be normal appointment!!
I have my appointment on Friday. For sure I'm doing the GBS test. Not sure what else will be going on. My doctor said that for sure I will be induced if I haven't had her by 39w, so idk if that means I schedule something or if we just wait until that point and then schedule something. I plan to ask on Friday.

I finally get to meet the last MW in my practice on Wednesday! I'll get whoever's on call, but I'm okay with that since they've all been great and they seem to have a really good system for keeping everyone's history and birth plan straight.
Normal 35 week appointment Thursday. Not sure if he'll do the GBS test this week or at my 37 week appointment. My doctor hasn't mentioned it yet, nor has he mentioned cervix checks so I have no clue what to expect for those.

I should have my 37 week appointment tomorrow but the office was fully booked and the receptionist wouldn't switch anything around so I skip this week and go in next week.
The ob told me I needed to be monitored more closely near the end due to my age. He isn't aware i am skipping this week as he was with the next patient by the time i saw the receptionist. I figure it's no big deal as long as she keeps moving around.
I already had my final blood work and the GBS test.
Regular 36 week checkup on wednesday. I've already had the GBS test so I don't think anything exciting is happening at this appt. and I think I go every week now...
I was only scheduled for my regular OB appointment on Wednesday, but things have been a little nuts over the past few days. I had scheduled a C for next week, since schmoo was still breech, and I've also got the pesky low (though not previa) placenta. Yesterday, I felt no movement in the morning, and called my OB's emergency line. As I was talking to them, I felt some stirring, but they still said to come in. The car ride seemed to wake her up a bit, but she still felt odd. We went up to L&D where they put me on monitors. She seemed to be absolutely fine, with a nice heartbeat. She also started moving around so much we had to keep repositioning the monitors. Then they did an US, and it turned out she had finally flipped! So that's why things felt weird in the morning- she was in a new position, so of course her movement was different. We went home after about an hour, and today I'll go in for another US, plus the OB appointment on Wednesday for stress test and cervix check. Oy, the drama!

38 week appt this morning. Have made 0 progress in spite of very frequent (and stronger) BH contractions. Kiddo is head down and bile acid results are in the normal range, so no explanation of why I itch so bad (hands/feet/belly/calves). So, waiting out another week 'til the next appointment
36 weeks now so regular checkup that includes the dreaded ass swab for GBS on Wednesday. Glad I probably won't have to see my doc again at all. I meet with the surgeon next week who will be performing the csection so I can skip her and following week she's on vacation so I see a different male fill in doctor. Then the week after, csection. I'm so relieved I don't have to see her again after this week. That's sad.
I'm in to weekly appointments now (due Feb 2nd). My last day of work is Wednesday, and then my appointment is Friday (38 weeks). Hoping for a sweep (trying for VBAC, so smaller baby would be better since I am quite petite and my 1st was 8 lbs.) Will keep you all posted
@kswiger06 Thanks! We're not sure. They want to discuss it on Wednesday when the operating OB will be in the office. It might be the best way to go, with my low placenta still being an issue. I'd rather wait until she's good and ready to come out, but we'll do whatever is safest.

Just had my 34 week appointment. Still measuring 2 weeks behind but MW said the baby is already very low. I woke up to pressure down there today so I'm wondering if she dropped a bit overnight. She hadn't been moving much in the last day so my MW had me do a NST just in case. Of course as soon as they hooked me up she started going nuts. She's making me look like a liar
Have my 37 week appointment today, just the usual with another cervical check, I'm hoping I'm further along than what I was last week. Just really soft but closed. But i have been having a lot of extra pressure in my butt and pelvic area so hopefully that is a good sign. Been trying everything from walking everyday to sex to evening primrose oil. I'm going crazy over here lol, I'm ready to have my baby here already!
I have my 38 week appointment this afternoon and we'll have the official plan for starting induction Sunday night, which is my birthday. I'm still so hoping she comes on her own.
Not doctor related, I'm taking the day off work on Thursday to get a mani and pedi with my SIL and I'm so looking forward to it. I'm hoping this week goes by fast!
@lfrank12 Seems like babies REALLY like to do that. DD wouldn't move all day, then I get hooked up and they pick up activity right away in about a min or so. Thanks baby!

36 week appointment tomorrow. I will have my group b strep test, a blood draw to test my blood levels and B12 and make sure my anemias have straightened out. I am irrationally nervous about my MW doing a vaginal exam. this particular midwife hasn't seen it before (she was added on to the practice around the time I went for my PP visit with DD2). When I scheduled with her it was intentional, but now I am like ugh why didn't I just go with the one I've known for years?

I have my 35w checkup with the lovely GBS test and I think they recommended vaccinations. This is the first of my weekly appointments, next week I have an ultrasound to check growth and positioning.

Had my 37 week appointment today. Got my first cervix check, I am 1cm dilated and 50% effaced, so things are moving along well. Over the weekend I broke out in a super awesome rash on my belly and inner thighs that itches like holy hell. Doc confirmed it is PUPPS (or PEP) and there's no treatment for it....yay. She recommended buying hydrocortisone cream to help with the itchiness until I have the baby and it goes away. So I'll be buying a big bottle of that on my way home from work today. She also felt the need to tell me (with a big smile) that she is on call this weekend...so I guess she thinks this baby could come anytime! Lol.
@scifichick09 you need to immediately look for and purchase this stuff, its called Grandpas Pine Tar soap. I had PUPPS for both of my other pregnancies, its miserable. Hopefully you deliver soon, I had it for weeks.
Lukewarm showers, use soap, dry off and repeat as necessary. I feel like I also used tea tree oil, but not anything that would keep it moist.
34 week appointment Thursday followed by labwork to recheck liver enzymes and bile acids, followed by NST. This week should be interesting though, because I've been taking Ursodiol for the last week to help with cholestasis. Dependent on my visit and labwork my dr will tell me when we're scheduling induction or if I'll be getting referred to the high risk OB for the remainder of my treatment.. Here's to hoping the medicine is helping with my levels and we can make it to 37 weeks!
@kswiger06 thank you!! I'm pretty optimistic. The last few days I think I've noticed a difference in not feeling quite so nauseated and blah, so I'm hoping that's related to the medicine helping with my levels. I'm curious to know my blood results because last week within a 3 day time span they had elevated to about 2.5x past normal. Baby has been nice and active though and did great during his last NST, so I feel confident!
@Gretchypoo aw thank you!! It'll be nice getting some more answers. I like to be in control of situations, so not having a definite answer is driving me nuts about the next few weeks lol... buuuuuuut as long as everything is going well, I've just told myself I've gotta go with the flow.
ETA: so @Gretchypoo I can't remember exactly, are they going to induce you at 38 weeks due to gestational diabetes?
Met with the doctor for my 39 week appointment. She did a membrane sweep and said I was dilated 3 centimeters. If I do not go into labor this week we scheduled my inducement date for this Friday evening with the goal of baby coming out this Saturday!!! Looks like my baby will most likely be born on Jan 21st soo excited and nervous.
@kirstynikole They've talked about inducing as early as 37 wks (Jan 27th) but my sugars look good and she is kicking butt at her NSTs and BPPs so they're gonna let her cook as long as she can! No news on scheduling a date and the dr has been less than forthcoming abt plans so I think we, too, are just going with the flow.
ETA: which I hate bc I'm super type A and I love a plan/schedule. I think this is just prepping me for motherhood...
In my town it's recommended to register at your hospital of choice before the birth (although they will also take you if you arrive in labor and are not registered, it's just less paperwork if you do it beforehand). I needed to have a "special" registration appointment because I'm high risk (35yrs and previous CS).
This appointment was today, but apparently I forgot my brain at home. Gave me a cup to pee. Went to the bathroom, forgot the cup. Sent me to the US room. Laid on the bench without undressing. Asked me about prior pregnancies and I said no. (Oh, you mean that Aug 2013 baby mentioned in my patient file? Ooops).
The day can only go up from here. At least they gave me a hi-res US of LOs face and told me the white spot in her heart seems fine.
