I saw the doctor on Friday. It was my doctor's associate. I see 2 doctors I love but there are 4 in the office. This was my first encounter with this doctor. I was not a fan. She was friendly but she really didn't listen at all. She did not pay attention to the fact that I have a metal rod in my leg and I have severe pain. She also was uninterested in checking to make sure the yeast infection was gone. She simply said I took the medicine, I "should be" good. Great.
She lifted ALL restrictions which is not okay at all. I cannot vacuum or sweep. I cannot go up and down stairs with any level of comfort. I told her these things give me severe leg pain and contractions that cause me to sit they are so strong. She said, "go swimming and hold on to the side of a pool treading water, go for long walks, do pregnancy yoga and stay very active." I will give birth NOW if I do these things plus my leg will hurt so bad I won't be able to move. She does not know my body and does not know my lifestyle pre-pregnancy. How can she determine what I need?
I was not happy. Of course Mike was with me and now thinks I can clean the whole house, cook, do all the errands and be fine. He thinks I'm being a wimp about pregnancy and doesn't get that this doctor was talking about a "typical" pregnant woman with no pain pre-pregnancy and not about me! So he made some rude comment Saturday and I started crying, got in the car and left for an hour or so. He called/text but I just text I wanted to be alone and came back when I was ready. I didn't speak to him, just went to the bedroom and read then made myself cereal for dinner. He went fishing then worked in his shed. Eventually he came home and we watched TV quietly together. That night I went to ned at 11 and he came in at 2am and cuddled me. We had sex even though that's not a great plan for my body right now. We were careful and he did not finish in me or give me an orgasm because I didn't want my cervix to be thinning from his semen or my orgasm to set off contractions. It was needed though, that closeness, that intimacy, the kissing, the touching, the full skin contact. Sunday I went to church while he went fishing. I then read and ate lunch and we went to the movies. Hercules was decent but not fantastic. The "Rock" made the movie. I had contractions from about 2:15-4:30/5pm that were strong and consistent but then they slowed down and stopped. We went to his parents' house for dinner. When we got home we watched TV, I fell asleep on the couch. I showered and we went to bed at our normal 11. I think we both slept well last night which is a miracle. Today I'm about to get dressed and go to the Social Security Office to legally change my last name. Then if I have the energy, to DMV to change my name on my license. Then I want to make stuffed shells and freeze them for after baby's birth. I have made 2 lasagnas, 3 crockpot meals, and a mac and cheese all frozen for the post-birth meals. I know church ladies will send meals but I wanted things in-case we need a meal and I am not interested in shopping/cooking.
