Just venting. Maybe looking for advice or feedback. I don't know.
Found out I'm GBS positive, so now I have to have the hep lock and IV antibiotics a couple times during labor. I just hate those things. ...and depending on my pediatrician's decision I could have to stay at that hospital for 48 hrs after normal vaginal delivery.
My BP is borderline high. (I can't remember what it was)
I gained a lot of weight in the last 2 weeks (like around 8 pounds I think), which maybe wouldn't be a big deal, but I've been steadily gaining 2 lbs per week since 16 weeks(didn't gain any before then) , so I was hoping to be slowing down by now, and I'm not a tiny girl. Just regular curvy, maybe slightly overweight.
I'm due in 3 weeks, and out of those next 21 days, my CNM informed me that she's going to be gone for 7 of them, even on & little bit after my due date...and that my fill-in doctor will be one of 2 on-call family practice doctors, who I've never met.
And lastly, neither good nor bad, she said the baby is really far down. At the top of my pubic bone, she could only feel the bottom part of his head. (where the head meets the neck) She asked if I wanted to have my cervix checked, I was just like "Um, I don't know, not really." I didn't know if that's something I should have done or not.
All in all, I know none of this is really that huge of a deal, it's not the end of the world, and that everything will turn out okay. It's just a lot of little disappointments for one appointment.....and I was definitely a tearful runny mascara mess the whole drive home.
