I just had my doctors appointment today and unfortunately my doctor was unavailable, so I met with another. I wanted her to check me to see how dilated and what my effacement was and she refused to do it!!! Then she went on to tell me that it's useless to know and that she doesn't believe in checking unless I'm in labor! I just wanted to know it's comforting to know what's going on down there!

@mssjudyk, really?? Nice to know thanks! :) @sgtpeppertheory yes that's true and I agree with you @ce5ce I just don't like that she wouldn't do it, she could have someone else do it. @emc229 exactly I was told that I can ask to be checked anytime
well that's different. I've heard of patients refusing to do it but not the doctor😟😟 makes me think she just wanted to be difficult. I would've said send me in a nurse that will then and not leave until I got what i wanted. I understand it's to prevent infection but geesh, there are ways to compromise😒😒
My midwife said they don't check unless I'm having contractions regularly, because some people can be at a certain dilation for weeks, and some dilate all in one day and have their baby that night. Doesn't really tell you much.
she refused ?? wdh. i didn't know they could refuse to do something like that. that's bs. you 37weeks you should be getting checked anyways.
my midwife refused to do it unless I was in labor also. it prevents infection.
Geez I asked my doc and she did it in my last appt. I was just having a ton of contractions so I wanted to make sure I wasn't dilated or anything. Gave me piece of mind. She should serve to your needs!
u can self check don't stress. You have to wash your hands very super well, and use some lube, maybe olive or coconut oil. I used lube, u can Google How.to do it: ) u can also YouTube it
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
TWW!!
2dpo and on the tww journey. Anyone on the same dpo or close? Haven't decided if I will test at 12dpo or just wait and see if she shows up!!

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
My doctor refused to check also. "There's really no point. You can be 100% effaced for days, weeks even, and we don't want to cause infection. If you're feeling goods, then I really don't want to give you false hope thinking she may come early.". The thing is, I WANT her to come on her due date - not early. But, I guess I understand where he's coming from.
