35 Weeks

I didn't get to update yesterday on my visit with Dr. Fat Nazi. But I've been chomping at the bit to share with you my irritation at him.
How many times have I said "This baby is transverse. Head on my left, butt on my right". Hmm? like 1000? Yeah. Then 2 weeks ago after a quick check Dr. FN declares "The baby is head down! You're looking good." I'm thinking "HUH? So what are these two big round body parts sticking out of the sides of my bump?" But I let it go. After all, he's the one that went to medical school. Right?
So the contractions and pressure start on Wednesday and I'm freaking out thinking I've got a head pressing down on my cervix.
I went in to my appointment yesterday and the FIRST thing Dr. FN says when he looks at my baby bump is "What have we got going on here?" He feels the two bit round bumps and says "This here on the left is her head and here on the right is her butt! You've got a transverse baby". SERIOUSLY!!!!????!!! Then what the hell made you think she was head down 2 weeks ago? Her positions hasn't changed at all in MONTHS!
UGH. I realize that Dr.'s aren't infallible, but jeez! Can't I pick ONE that seems to know more than I do? This is just awesome. Yet another Dr. lets me down. He's still super nice and I guess he did recover from his mistake on his own. And it's too dang late to switch now. I guess I'm just going to have to be more vocal and start questioning him when his opinion differs from mine. And someone is going to have to start going to these appointments with me. I'm much more confident about speaking up when I have some moral support.

As for the rest of my appointment my blood pressure was really high on the electronic machine, but it came down when the nurse took it manually. Still a bit higher than normal. I only gained 1 lb. So that's great. I'm still under the 35 lbs total recommended weight gain. Yay. And I'm one finger tip dilated, which doesn't really matter b/c at this point I am convinced this baby is stuck on the septum in my uterus and unable to turn. So she's probably not coming out the intended exit. Dr. FN says we'll re-evaluate next week. I'm SO telling him what I think and that he needs to do an ultrasound. I'm also worried about her position and the size of my uterus restricting her growth.
