I went to the doctor yesterday. I am measuring 40+ weeks. I gained over three pounds in one week. That is not good. Dr. Jones ordered an ultrasound for me to check on size of baby and amount of amniotic fluid. He asked me what my biggest baby was (Cullen at 8lbs. 13 oz. and he was 3 weeks early!) and then asked me to remind him of how early other baby were and their weights. He did the group b strep test which I assume will be negative. He checked my cervix and said that not much is going on (whatever that means). Disappointing. I really feel like something changed this past weekend though. I all of a sudden got extremely uncomfortable and irritated. I'm having sporadic contractions which are more annoying than having regular ones.
I borrowed Trisha's birthing ball and have been bouncing and rolling around on that as much as I can. I also upped my red raspberry tea leaf tea to 3-4 cups a day. I think I am going to try jumping on the mini trampoline too, lol! But, I know that she will come whenever she wants to come, not when I want her to come. I just want my body prepared in the best ways possible. I also have to see Dr. Davis for the next two weeks since Dr. Jones will be out of town. I have to lay down the episiotomy law with him, that is my major concern.
*side note* Okay, so I have done a TON of research on episiotomies and I have always tried to not see any pictures of it. Oh my dear God, I looked at pictures of that this morning.....thank the Lord above I never had that done to me!! I am thoroughly shocked and amazed that this happens to so many women!! No wonder they have issues healing and functioning properly afterwards!!! I wonder if men would let someone slice up their penis in the name of helping them do something that our bodies are made to do naturally!??!?! I am so disgusted! I would ruin someone's life if they did that to me! *end side note (rant)*
I also really have no idea what I am doing with kids or anything else while in labor. I haven't packed a hospital bag and I don't really want to. I am so tired and irritated that I just don't want to do anything. Pretty sure my kids have eaten pizza and cereal too much lately. I am trying to make some freezer meals for after baby girl is here but, so far I have succeeded in making only three....and I want to use them now because I am to exhausted to cook, lol! oh well.
