37 week appointment

Today I had my 37 week appointment:
Blood pressure: 122/78
Weight: I would rather not mention, let's just say I have gained 56 lbs.

I talked to the Dr. about my weight gain. I gained 50 with both Payton and Eleanor, and I have obviously passed that and still have at least three weeks to go. That could be another 6 lbs or more! She said she would be concerned if I had any other issues like high blood pressure or swelling, but I have none of those. She did talk to another Dr., and they talked about inducing me, but said No since it is my third baby, I gained a lot with my other two, I had big babies before, and have not had to have a c-section. But, she said next appointment we will revisit and see where I am at. VERY FRUSTRATED WITH MY WEIGHT GAIN!!!!

Also frustrating was the fact that they told me they do not check you to see if you are dilated until 40 weeks. WHAT? Not that checking tells me anything, but any information makes me feel better. They said the only way they will check you is if you are having pain and regular contractions. Hmmm. Next week I might just have pain and contractions!!!

The baby also measured at 36 weeks, which is what she measured last week, so no growth. I asked if that would be concerning and they said no, only if the baby measures three weeks smaller than what I am. Whatever. Another tear induced Dr. appointment. I am so glad I will not be having any other babies here!!!!!!!!!!
