I’m feeling so upset and kind of angry right now. I had my 39 week appointment today. After the doctor checked my cervix he seemed disappointed that I was still only 1cm (have been since 37 weeks). I wasn’t worried about that because I know that doesn’t really say anything about how close I am to labor, although my cervix is still pretty high and I’m not sure if that’s an indication or not. When I noticed how far up he was having to go to feel it, I asked is the baby really still that high because I could swear he’s dropped down and he said it’s not that he’s high, but your cervix is. But didn’t really confirm if the baby was engaged or not. So then he asked me about getting induced, and I told him I would really like to avoid it if it’s possible because I’m wanting to have a natural childbirth& do most of my laboring at home. After I told him that he didn’t really acknowledge it, and then he said he wants to get an ultrasound on Thursday and didn’t tell me why. We just had an ultrasound at 37 weeks and he was measuring well and in a good position. Then he said he doesn’t want me going past 40 weeks and wants to induce me next Tuesday. He didn’t say why. I have been perfectly healthy this whole pregnancy (as has my baby) good blood pressure, weight, everything. I don’t see any medical reason to induce me. Maybe I should’ve asked more questions but the whole appointment felt very rushed (like every other appointment) and like he was telling me what was going to be done whether I liked it or not. I told him I’ve been having (mild, inconsistent) cramps/contractions for 4 days and he didn’t even say anything about that. I just feel like my body is getting closer but that 7 days from now may not be enough time and I don’t want to force my body to give birth if it’s not ready. It would diminish my entire birth plan to be induced. I just don’t understand why he’s rushing me. I wish he would take time to explain his decisions/opinions to me. He has me worried that something is wrong with me or baby and he’s not telling me or something.
