I'm Currently Feeling:  | Had a Dr. Appt Today
I had my last every 2 week appt today... I'm now bumped up to weekly...
Still measuring good, babies heart beat was 140, like almost always.
Had my strep B test, which wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Worst part was sitting with my bum exposed on that damn paper for half hour waiting for my doctor! I def over-worried about it, but was super happy that I was already expecting it this week, (Thanks to all of you ladies here at BNB!). I wouldn't have been too happy if I went in and was completely blindsided by the situation.
Also, baby is engaged. She didn't say what station or anything, but felt and said baby is def engaged. I suspected this with all the pain and pressure I've been havin. And going to the bathroom 10 times a night.
Just wanted to share! Hope all you girls had a good day today!! =) | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | glad your appointment went well, wonder if i will start going weekly at 34 weeks? and that must be a good sign if your baby is engaged, dont think my little one is yet as i have been having no pressure or pain, suppose it is still quite early for me tho. xx | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Hey burtonbaby, glad your appointment went better than you thought.
We don't normally get weekly appointments over here until we're 38 weeks +, in fact it's every 4 weeks until 36 weeks! | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Glad all went well.
I have my 35 week appt on March 13, and after that they will be weekly appointments.
Ooh, I have a question about the strep b:
for the vaginal swab, do they use the lovely speculum to open you up or no? | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | Thanks girls! Aqua - they didn't use anything, they just used the swab at the very opening. It wasn't bad at all. And it was over in a second. | | | | Status: Offline
