Parenting Club Forums > May Through August Expecting Club > My Dr's appt yesterday

Posted by: PrairieMom May 24 2006, 03:51 AM

Well, My appt yesterday was pretty much pointless. I learned that after 15 or so weeks of terbutaline my Iron cervix is pretty much not doing anything. he said there were subitle changes.

He also said that now that I am off my meds I will either

a:stop contracting
b: continue to contract

Thankyou captain obvious!

I think that I am going with option B tho. I have contracted most of the night ( when I was trying to sleep I might add) about every 5 minutes, then it would quit for about 1/2 and hour, then come back.

he said if I am at a 3 or 4 next week when I see him, I can pick a day to have my baby. I was like WTH?

He will let me schedule a time to have my membraines stripped. At 38 weeks? I DON"T THINK SO!

Although it would be nice to have this baby while my sister is here, I'm not willing to do that. so, my sister doesn't even know he mentioned it. she would be SO MAD at me if she found out.

At anyrate, he doesn't think I will make it 2 more weeks. I guess we shall see!

Waiting patiently for that post that baby is here!!!! Hang in there and let nature take its course, I agree, don't let the MD do anything until he has too - like overdue.....good luck, easy labor and delivery vibes to you...........

It wont be long now. I agree though I would just wait it out and let the baby come when it wants to. Good luck to you.

Well dont you just hate that. SO the meds did not do much? Good for you for waiting it out. Just talk to her and let her know when she is ready so are you.

he said that the meds did help, they are how I got this far in the first place.

I guess things just are what they are.
