9th Doctors Appointment...
I went to see Dr. D today for my check-up. John came with me because we are getting to the "end". She laughed when she saw him and was like... "hello stranger, I only see you at the end here". We just laughed and she said something about me still being pregnant. I laughed back at her and said "you really didn't think I would have gone into labor while you were on vacation and let you get out of delivering the girls... do you????" She just lauughed at me. I seriously think I make her day! LOL.
So she looked in my chart to see how far along I am now and asked if I was ready to have the babies next week because I'll be 38 weeks. I told her about what the doctor had said over at the ultrasound place about waiting until at least 39 weeks and she looked at me like I had six heads and said... "he does realize that you have twins in there... right?" I told her that's exactly what I said. So we went on talking for a while about it and I told her that John and I were looking at October 14th which would put me at 38 1/2 weeks like I was with the girls but that I wasn't sure if she would be at the hospital that day. She checked her schedule and she's on hospital duty so we're set! I told her that when I went for my ultrasound two weeks ago both babies were head down but when I went for my NST last week Baby B switched position and was now transverse but her head was more head down than laying sideways. Of course she went on to tell me about how even if I deliver Baby A vaginal if Baby B doesn't cooperate that I may still end up with a c-section. I told her that I know but I will talk to the babies this week and we'll be fine. haha.
She wants me to come in next Wednesday to check my cervix to see if I'm dialated and if my cervix is softened at all. If neither of those things are going on then I will have to go into the hospital on Thursday night so they can work on it before Friday. So tonight I am starting to drink my teas, my evening primrose oil and listening to my Hypno Babies CD's. She listened for the babies heartbeats and found them both right away. So we're good. She's putting me on the books to be induced next Friday, October 14th! I'm totally nervous and still have so much to do it's insane!
I'm just a little worried about the whole date thing. When I first found out I was pregnant I looked in my calander to see when I had my period but because I was on that stupid three month birth control my period was all messed up. The due date I came up with would have been November 1, 2011. Since I was on that pill they sent me for an ultrasound to check the date and the babies were measuring to be due on October 25, 2011. So I'm just worried about what if I'm not really going to be 38 weeks next week. I mean it's really only the difference of a week. Right? I just don't know what to do. I guess I'll leave it up to the man upstairs and the universe.
