I had to have the AWESOME Strep B culture done. I am not sure about anyone else but with everything I read no one tells you they stick the cu tip in your but? Hellooooo that would have been information that I would have kindly liked so I was pre-pared! Jack had mentioned that he read it but I never did so I thought he was pulling my leg. Guess I should just learn to trust my husband! It was fine, the test takes literally 2 seconds!!!
At my last appointment that I told you about which was Monday the 11th I had lost a pound bringing me to 16 gained...yesterday I gained 1. So I back to a gain of 17 which is awesome...I am very proud of myself although I am not sure how that happened! Blood Pressure great and Urine great!
She said after the culture that she was just going to check to see if I had made any progress. I had told her that the night before I was having sharp pains middle abdomen and was not sure if it was Nola or what? She said it probably was her trying to get her head down!
She proceeded to do an internal and man did that hurt - she had to feel around really hard cause she could not locate my cervix! No matter how many times she told me to relax I just couldn't - it was so uncomfortable - which makes me realize how much labor is going to SUCK! Anyway, she said " Oh you have been very busy!" 3 centimeters dilated and cervix is realllyyy thin!!! She said she obviously cant promise that I would go early but she said it is likely....I told her all I wanted to know what how far past my due date she was willing to let me go...I wanted to have an end date in sight! She said because of the diabetes she would take me around my due date! GREAT NEWS!
Great appointment.....except for the cramping and spotting from the appointment...I forgot how much any type of internal appointment SUCKS!
Well, Ill leave you with a belly shot - not a great one but here is one indeed!
Sorry that I look so bad!

Wow! Progress! That's exciting! And I don't think you look bad at all!
ReplyDeleteHigh-five to Jack for having the heads-up on the strep B test! lol I got subjected to that twice because my old OB's office never noted the result in my records, so my new OB had to do one for herself. Oh JOY! lol
I can't wait to see little Nola!
That's awesome! I've been thinking about you, so thanks for the update!
