So pissed right now! My doctor wouldn't even see me...they sent me straight to triage. I sat in there for two hours while they monitored him and me to see if I was having contractions...only had one. His hr was a bit low...probably cause I hadn't eaten or drank anything all freaking morning cause I was sitting in there, so they had to give me apple juice which helped. My waters didn't break. I did get to see my munchkin though and they said he has plenty of fluid in there. She also said it's normal for the movements to start changing around this time. She thinks the fluid, which to answer your question was very watery running down my leg, is just the normal thinning of the mucus at this point. But she said the non-stress test, which is them monitoring him without giving me contractions...which they did...and doing a cervical check to see if my waters broke...which they did...are things that would be done in the office in a situation like this. So if that's the case, then why did I spend my morning in triage!?!?!? Plus I kept trying to ask who the doctor was that was sending me to triage and why and she just kept talking over me and wouldn't answer me. I pay way too much money for that kind of service, especially when it's in regards to my health and the health of my baby. If I have to go to triage...fine, but you could at least evaluate me and save me the time and money it's going to cost before blindly sending me over there. So I could have went to my doctor and had the same things done, except the u/s, without all the extra. She told me to keep my appt on Friday which I will, but I'm totally raising hell when I get there!
OAN, she did say that I was 40% effaced. No dialation yet, but my cervix is soft and she said the bh I've been having are completely normal and the ones that help get things moving.
