I went today to my doctor's appointment. (Remember I thought my due date was today, the hospital ultrasound said yesterday BUT Dr. Gramann had his mind made up from the 12th to 15th).
~
When I got to the appointment they took my blood pressure: high as usual.
~
Then doctor Gramann came in and we listened to the heartbeat, which was quieter but still strong. Then he checked me. He said he was sure I was about a 3 centimeters dialated but wasn't completely sure as he didn't want to hurt me.
~
While laying down he took my blood pressure again....he did it TWICE. So today I had my pressure taken a total of 4 times as I did it once, the nurse and then the doctors.
~
He said, yes it is still high...Then said, "Well, mother nature can kick in at anytime and give you a birthdate for this baby!" I quickly responded with "SO CAN YOU!" He and Candice laughed at that.
~He then sat and started talking...He said he's not into Inductions but wasn't opposed in my situation as I did have some proteins in my urine. (Proteins in the urine are a sign of toxemia or pre-eclampsia and I already have all the other symptoms...)
~
I told him I was ready. Its not that I WANT the baby early but I wanted to feel better again. I want to not have my feet and legs (clear up to my knees) hard as bullets - no joke! I didn't want to have numbness in my hands. If I didn't have any of these issues, yeah I'd wait it out (probably complaining BUT waiting) but I didn't feel good and I am ready.
~
He said he'd call the hospital and see when the next available date was...then said later this week I said, fine with me having a date is good enough!
~
He came back and told me....TOMORROW!!!! Yikes, then it hit me and I was scared and nervous!!!
~
I have to call the hospital tomorrow at 7 AM to determine if they have room for me (I might cry if some other pregnant lady actually goes into labor on her own kicking me out of my spot...) If they have room for me I have to check in at 8 AM.
~
SOOOO, If you see a post of some sort tomorrow that other pregnant lady went into labor and I got booted! (FYI, I don't personally know of any other pregnant ladies but I am sure there are some due...) :)!
