Well after sitting in an uncomfortable chair for what seemed like eternity, but really was an hour and a half, I finally got in to see the doctor for literally 5 mins. Everything is checking out fine. Baby is weighing and measuring right on target, and her heartbeat was 150, which is perfect. Next week they are going to start checking to see if I am dilated at all and all that good stuff I guess. I have had really bad back pains on my left side, and the doctor said it was my sciatic nerve, which has now forced me to "waddle" around in pain. Doctor said that nothing can really be done about it but:
1. Put a heating pad on the area of discomfort (which I'm already doing)
2. Have Derek massage it (Yea ... like that is going to happen)
3. Lay on the ground and try to stretch the area out by placing leg over leg and turning on my side (I'm not sure if she got a good look at the tummy, but seriously ... I can't see myself laying on the ground trying to do this maneuver haha)
4. Take a Tylenol (which I've done, and does nothing)
So .... basically I will be in pain, with the new "waddle" until baby decides to join us (which I hope is soon!)
I will take a 37 week picture today at some point, and post it on here for everyone to see, and will post it on here at some point today/tonight.
