This friday I will be 39 week along. I feel like my prenatal care has been lacking. Each visit it is nothing more than, weight, pee, blood pressure, questions. I'm a first time mom, so I feel like I don't have questions, because I don't have a clue. I'm in hopes they will tell me if something is needed, or to be done.
So at almost 39 weeks... I have only had one cervix exam, that was when I first when in when I was pregnant. Also was the only time I have had my blood drawn. Since then, I have had NOTHING! People at work are telling me they have had exams since 7 months, some said they had a bunch at the beginning as well. I know all doctors are different, but my lady parts are feeling very neglected. I told them about the million braxton hicks I get, and they still don't want to check to make sure they aren't real!?
This week, my blood pressure was up, my weight was 3lbs in one week, and I swell all the sudden, but nothing is sad. My friend had the same thing and they had to induce her a month early because of the harm on the baby. Now I can't stop thinking something might be wrong with the baby or me, and I will never know because my doctor is doing NOTHING!
Is a week before my due date too early to fire my doc? Or do I just need to relax??? Please help
