Go Home and Wait for Baby

Doctor’s Appointment Report: Everything looks “great.” Baby looks “perfect.” I was one of those patients asking, “Are you sure my fluids are still good enough?” and “The baby’s not getting too big?” Part of me is just looking for a reason to bring this baby out (but, at the same time, if they ever said yes, I would crap my pants and change my mind)! So – all good news. I am 50% effaced but (personal info warning) my cervix is still tilted too far back for her to tell if I am dilating. It remains a mystery… (By the way, it hurts like hell for the doctor to be able to realize she cannot reach my cervix!) And…just an observation: female doctors hurt more than male doctors. I have come to this conclusion based on more than one set of doctors. Why is that??

Anyway, all is good and they sent me home to wait for baby. My mom swears that during the ultrasound, the tech said, “come on, girl” under her breath at one point. If I would have heard that, I would have freaked out (in a good way). But I didn’t. I am hoping that was a slip. But…she messes with my head every single time. I always leave that little room thinking I know what it is because of something the tech said. Suppose I still need to wait…that’s the name of the game these days.

7 days to go!!!
