Quick Doctor Update

[same_sky]

Baby: definitely head down. Yay! Pretty high up, though.. not dropped. Anyone who sees me could tell me that, though. Heartbeat good, but humorous. Apparently. He chuckled, anyway. I love it when the doctors still love the nice parts.

Me: Not dilated. Yay! Normal blood pressure, presumably no protein (as he didn't mention it). Measuring at least good enough to not warrant commentary.

Tests: Group B strep test today--results next Monday at my next appointment. No need for weekly cervical exams unless I just want them. As I told the doctor, it really didn't do anything for me so I'd just as soon not. (I always wondered why people said that they hurt. Mainly, because they hurt. Huh.) I am glad that I had one today because it gives me a baseline that nothing has happened yet.

If I go into labor now, they won't try to stop it.

Also, has anyone ever gotten kicked out of obstetrics school for having short, stubby fingers? These are the kinds of things I think about at inappropriate moments.

I swear the next time I have a baby (if I ever do), my sole criteria for ob/gyn will be long fingers. I wish my practice would have given me the option to say no to the weekly checks. I don't see what purpose they serve since you could go into labor from 0 to 10 in a day or you could hang at a 3 for a couple of weeks.

Glad to hear everything is going so well for you!

The checks, what is with people and the checking in this country. Leave things well enough alone. *out of system now*

You know, my son didn't drop until 5 hours before he was born. You'll know she's dropped when you need to pee constantly. Not frequently like now, but constantly. ;-)

I imagine they have. Although they could probably then sue for unfair dismissal and blame it on women with an extra long whatsit :)

(yes, I have lost it)

Why anyone "wants" one, I'll never know.
