Angry last OB appointment- long

So, yesterday was my last appointment before I'm to be induced next Tuesday. I made this appt with the Dr that I had chosen to deliver with. Well, I go in they do my exam, she telle me I'm 1+ cm dialated, 75% effaced and at a station -2. Then, I asked her kindly to explain the baby's positioning because the last visit they scared the hell out of me over it. She proceeds to tell me baby is vertex with the back of his head to my left as well as his spine. He's not posterior, he's sideways and turned to the left. She said turned to the right is typically ideal, but the left is better than posterior and no cause for concern...TY for clearing that up. Well, I bled for quite a few hours after my appointment (8:30), and it finally stopped. Then, last night I was having very strong contractions, about 8-10 mins apart for about 3-4 hours. I also started passing what I thought might either be blood clots or more parts of my mucus pkug because it was darker brown in color and rather mucusy. (sorry for TMI)

So- to the ANGRY part...I sit down to discuss and get my paperwork for Tuesday. March 1st was the date I had chosen almost 2 weeks ago and since have made travel arrangements for my parents, his mother and transportation for my oldest who is going on an overnight field trip and returning on Wednesday. She starts talking and spits out you're scheduled for 5:30am on Wednesday, March 2nd with Dr. G!!! EXCUSE ME, WHAT??? Ummm no not correct. Well, there's a scheduling error and I was "skipped" over for being added to the inductions for Tues. I immediately said absoloutely not...everything was arranged and yes mistakes are made, but the office let me choose my dr, I haven't seen the dr that was to be there 3/2 other than in August, and everything has been scheduled accordingly. The dam broke and I immediately started crying uncontrollably. I understand things happen and we can't always get our way, but I just was not at all comfortable with everything that was going on. Had the hospital been full of preggo ladies giving birth, yes I understand I come last. This wasn't the case though- the office was AGAIN incompetent and no communication occured between the Dr and nurses.

Anywho- the agreement was made now that I am to report to the Dr's office on Tuesday at 8am sharp, the main nurse is going to send me to the hospital and they're going to "pretend" as if I'm in labor. Once they get me in a room the Dr is going to have them keep me and start my induction. She proceeded to tell me that if I didn't want to wait until Tuesday and the weekend was better, she was on call Friday through Sunday and would be more than happy to get me started earlier. So, I may be going for my induction this weekend if these contractions don't let up or in her words "anything" seems out of sort. They have continued in waves and even went through the night- waking me up, which has never happened before now.

Sorry so long, but these past few weeks have been killer for me and all I can say is I can't wait til I have him in my arms, they announce visiting hours are over, EVERYONE leaves and it's just me and my little baby boy left in the room alone!! :) My hormones and emotions are ALL over the place and I'm so ready to let it be over with!!

Thanks for listening- sorry so long!!! LOL

Oh my gosh Kerri.
I am so glad this end of the journey is almost over for you. Do they realize how much more stress they have just caused you???

Thank goodness that nurse is on your side and give you all the 'wink wink nudge nudge' input that she can. I would certainly take her up on it!!!!

Since the doctor you like is the one on call this weekend, I would take advantage of it and meet your little boy as soon as possible  :-)
That way too, she's the one who attends him and you all weekend rather than just the one day you deliver  :-) 

Good luck, keep us posted, can't wait to see pictures!

Hugs!

Thanks Jes!! I feel like the biggest, whinniest complainer and it's not my typical me, but my stress levels are so stinkin elevated I just wanna flip- oh wait did i mention B Dr last week has my BP rechecked when it was 120/80 and yesterday it's 138/82 and not an ounce of concern it seemed- WTF?? LOL My mom gets here tomorrow night at 6:30 in the evening and she says after she gets here, the walking fest is on. She's an RN as is my MIL who gets in at 2 tomorrow, so I'm going to be in good hands. The more and more I think about it the more and more tempting Saturday night is starting to sound...I just don't wanna be too greedy. However, if thee contractions come like they have it's game on time!! ;)

Well, def give an update and upload some pics as soon as everything goes down. Thanks again girlie...it's been a long journey and you're get to the end of yours too, so I'm sure you can understand!! :)

Hang in there...maybe your little man is just waiting for "Grandma" to show up and then the fireworks begin!  LOL.
Good luck!!  Can't wait to hear more GOOD news .... think of this too, if ugly B doc shows up, just hit her...."oops? Did I do that? Must have been a reflex of the contractions!!!'"  ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha 

Hugs!

And yes, 26 days and counting!!!!  Woo-hoo

Wow, Just breath, you are almost there!

would go in as soon as possible to insure that the doctor you want is there. This is your first right? It can take up to a day for the induction. With my first, they started the pitocin at 10am on Tuesday and at 6:30 Am Wednesday the baby was born. So if I were you, I would go in this weekend.

Lianne,

Thanks for the info. I am curious though if I go in tomorrow night and I'm not having regular contractions and not dialating any further than I was yesterday if they will send me home or just go ahead and go through with the induction. I guess that's my biggest fear is I don't want to waste a night sitting there for them to just say go home and come back on Tuesday. I'm still having pretty irregular contractions with sometime severe pressure down low. I've been spending time on my birthing ball bouncing and rolling my hips, but I'm just afraid I'm not progressing and this will happen. Do you think they will in fact send me home? Or do you think they would set me up and monitor me and go from there? The dr pretty much hinted to my comign in on the weekend versus the faking process on Tuesday morning, but I'm just so stinkin nervous LOL

Thanks again
Kerri

Do a lot of walking. and when you get a contraction, squat. If you are a 3 I believe they should consider it labor. You can have them check you and they will monitor you. Just an FYI, I went through my whole labor and non of my contractions showed up on the monitor, so that should not help them determine if you are in labor. Just the changing of the cervix determines it.
