Coda- yup! I can relate.. I remember that feeling. Its your ligaments stretching. I thought I was growing a huge cyst on my ovary or something with that amount of pain. Not to scare you, but things just get worse. Some things go away (like that pain) but new ones come. The things us woman go through to have give life. Its all worth it in the end, but getting there can be a struggle. Coda - have you talked to your aunt? Anyhow, I just got back from the doc. kinda bummed. They used to do the membrane sweeping at 38 weeks, but they just recently changed it to 39 weeks (go figure, just my luck!)... SO, I have it scheduled for next Tuesday... 7 days from now if I don't have the baby by then. My normal doctor did an internal exam and pretty much blew off that fruit cake doctor saying, "well, you are definitely a "good" 3 cm dilated" She also said I was 80% effaced and baby fully engaged. I told her what the fruit cake doctor in L&D said (that I was back tracking) and she said, "yea, I read that here in your med. records and I can tell you right now, don't listen to what he said... you are definitely progressing and NOT backtracking" SO, at least that was good to hear. Just wish I could have had the membrane sweeping done. Oh well!! Oh, also... when I say "fruit cake" doctor... I literally mean that. lol.. this guy floats when he walks and honestly I even as an OB, I dont think he's aware of the female body. Not to be TMI, but when I seen him in L&D on Easter and he did the internal exam... he couldn't find my "hole" LOL>.... I kid you not!!! He had put the glove on and went to do the internal and he kept pocking the top... I was about to say, "um, you need to go a little lower" Can you believe that!?!? LOL... Plus, it didn't even feel like he was feeling my cervix when he said I was only 50% effaced. Needless to say, I sure pray I don't go into labor when he is on call. LOL
