Saw my doctor yesterday and I'm 1 cm dilated and 75% effaced! The baby was moving around like crazy and wasn't liking the doppler at all. All that I can think about now is labor. I am trying to stay positive and calm, but honestly, fear of the unknown starts to creep in once in a while and I start to freak out a little bit. I think I slept 3 hours last night. I flipped and flopped, got up to pee a few times and my mind could not stop racing. The next thing I knew it was 5am and I went down on the couch. The baby was doing morning kickboxing or something in there by that time and of course it was time to get up and go to work. Ugh.
Oh, I have some venting, so please excuse for one moment. Bare with me.
IF ONE MORE PERSON SAYS TO ME, "Oh, you think you're tired now, JUST WAIT!" I'M HONESTLY GOING TO GIVE THEM A SWIFT EAR PUNCH!!!!!!!! They asked me how I feel and I tell them that I'm tired. Then they proceed to give me advice that I didn't ask for, don't want, don't need. It's not even advice! It's like some sort of warning, like I don't already know that I'm going to be up every 2-4 hours breastfeeding, rocking, changing and everything else that I SIGNED UP FOR 9 MONTHS AGO. At least after the baby is born I will not be lugging around 25-30 extra pounds everywhere I go with a backache or groin ache or hip ache or the baby using my bladder as a punching bag or the baby's feet kicking me in the ribs!!!! Why do people find it necessary to tell you how YOU will feel? what YOU will go through? THEY have NO IDEA! It's MY experience! NOT theirs!
OK. I think I am done for now. Sorry for the wild rant. I feel a better.
