re: 34 Week OB appointment

As long as you're getting some caffiene then you'll be fine.. or wean yourself down... i went from drinking 10 dr. pepper/pepsi's to like 2 or 3 drpep/pep along with 5 or 6 sierra mist (which is caffiene free)... i'm not sure if sugar is the same way or what, i just know that with caffiene it is that way... and your welc!! lol

I'm a little late for this haha I was checked at 36 weeks but I was 0

im 37 weeks and my doctor said she wouldnt check me unless i asked her to because they cant predict labor by doing that

Quoting PO-PO.:“ Also I meant to say, don't be disappointed if they check you and you aren't effaced or dilated. My Dr. ... [snip!] ... not dilated at all. I went into active labor literally AS I was walking out of my Dr's office and had him 9 hours later.”

  WOW.
But yeah I've been afraid that I'm not going to easily dilate or efface or something.

They started checking me for dialation around 37 weeks.

No one came to my baby shower from my side of the family except my mom, mostly because everyone lives far away. I still had a bunch of people from my husbands family come, so It worked out. You will still have fun at your shower with whoever shows up. I am still waiting for the gifts that are "in the mail" from my side of the family though. grrr.

depends on the dr. i didn't get checked with either kid til 37 weeks and they skipped over the 38th until i begged them enough.

Lol, "in the mail," and you've got an AWESOME due date. I really wanted to have my shower on Halloween, like, a day thing but I'm too far behind on invites now, and I'm sure people will be too busy
