Thread: ~Kelly's (klebanik) Birthing Lodge!!~

Hope your appt goes well today! I don't really have any advice about the weight gain-that has not been a problem for me. But I think it's great that you've been able to stay so active-you must be healthy to feel well enough to do all that you're doing.

Thanks for heavy shoes and gouchos! I came in 1.5 lbs. heavier than last appointment 2 weeks ago. I am up 13 lbs. for the pregnancy so far. So I am really happy about that. All in all, it was a good appointment. BP was perfect, weight gain was...well, like I said, I gained so that was good...and no protiens in my urine. I told the nurse that I didn't want to know the results of the internal and she made it clear to her when she got int he room. Did the group b test, I was told I could call in 48 hours for the answer and get the results. The worst part was that they used a speculum and I am still SO sore and tender that it hurt pretty bad. Well, the girls were throwing a fit and playing with the fake uterus there in the exam room so I sent Kevin out to the lobby with them. When the doctor walked me out, Kevin said, "so how are things?" to which she replied, "perfect!" And then Kevin asked, "so, any change since 2 weeks ago?" and before I could say anything, she responded, "a loose 2 and 75% effaced...oops, sorry Kelly, you okay?" Yeah...I thought I did good, but having a loose canon dh is something I didn't expect. Now I'm all deflated and sad. having like .5-.75 of a cm and only effaced like 15-20% more doesn't seem like alot with as active as I've been. But then again, I am still only 36 weeks so I have some time. Besides, Matt's still nice and low at 0 station so I do have some things to be thankful about. Anyways, I'm off to do another TMI thread cause a question was raised at my appointment. Hope everyone is having a nice day.

Welcome to your lodge, I read your intro a few days ago and didn't get to welcome you until now.

Bummer on finding out, continue to punish him with unfun sex for that slip up!

Cindy

that stinks that you found out what you didn't want to know. interesting that she used a speculum .... I just had a swab brushed on the outside. but it sounds like things are going well. and you want that baby to bake as long as possible, so don't be bummed about the slow rate of change.

Sounds like the appt went well. And you did make progress. Sorry, you ended up finding out the results though, but like you said you've still got 4 weeks to ago and a lot can happen in that time.

2 cm is good! I was much less than that at 38 weeks!! Sorry you found out though...

Jessica

well, that is pretty dilated for 36 weeks sorry you found out.

I hate speculums!!!

Silly DH! Sorry he made you find out. Hope the tenderness goes away soon.

YAY for progress....boo for them telling your DH in front of you. Try not to think about it (I know its really hard not too). Ill be thinking of you. When is your next appt?
Now Im off to find this thread of yours.lol
