Dr apt today

[Juliaschill]

Well had a check up today and found out that there was a mess up at the lab and my 3 hour sugar test was lost!! now the dr said I am passed the point where it would tell her what she needs to know,(i guess you need to do it before 32 weeks) so now I have to stick my finger every morning and 2 hours after eating and keep a chart for 3 days and then go back, so that *****, my cervex is now only 1.2cm thick but still kind of high so that part is good, baby has not dropped at all, so good there, nice heart beat,and BP was good, gained 2 pounds is a week but not surprised as I am always in bed or on the couch, I am getting tire of having people in my house taking care of it and me and my boys,YES I AM SO HAPPY I HAVE A FAMLY THAT IS WILLING TO DO THIS, I AM VER BLESSED,but it is hard to lay around and watch it being done, guess I am just feeling sorry for myself, dumb i know but that is where I am at, still on bed rest, my doctors target date is Aug 7th she said if I make it to that date that when I go into labor they will not try and stop it, but she is making me have a c-section witch I don't think is fair, I had my first DD natural, 2nd c-section due to her being breech, and my 3rd DD V-bac with no problems. but the hopstial near me has a policy that if you have had a c-section you HAVE to deliver that way, I am so upset about this, that will mean even more time that I will not be able to care for my boys,  ugh!!!! not to mention that I am not lookin forward to surgery, but  in the end if I have my new little man it will all be worth it, hope everyone is well, julia

Oh Julia, I am sorry you got the blues. I know it must be so terribly hard for you to watch others do "your" work. I think that is due to the fact that we are all strong women and we like it done are way by us!!!! But it does sound like you have a great family!!!!!

Glad to hear things are getting better with your little guy, hopefully he will stay in the oven and continue to get super strong!!!!!!  

Remember you have all of us to keep cheering you on!!! Thanks for the update!!!!!

Aww Julia, I am sorry your feeling a bit down.  It's got to be tough being on bed rest with such a busy life and household.  I am glad things seem to be going well though and your little man is staying put! Hang in there, you are so very close.

Julia - I totally understand where you're coming from about the bed rest - when I was pregnant w/my middle daughter, I was on strict bedrest the last 8 weeks of my pregnancy w/two preschoolers to take care of and it was sheer he l l.  It's hugely stressful!  My sister came to stay w/us to take care of me and the children so I had family but it was still pretty awful.

Fortunately, you don't have too much longer to go but the last weeks are the hardest for sure.  Hang in there.  I'm sorry about the c-section - I really am - it seems like ob-gyn's & everyone else are shying away from VBAC's now.  I really think it's a law-suit thing.
