When I started my pregnancy I had a crappy doctor and I hateddddd her and the the office and at 20 weeks I changed doctors my new doctor is so attentive and alert . I know it's too late for you to change but maybe you can talk with them and tell them that this is your body and your child and you will strongly feel more comfortable if they follow your requests

well everything was booked so im gonna do a walk in cause i aint gonna wait til the 26 to see him ill nbe 38 weeks by then and i did last time and he was like its normal to feel pressure and i said it was to the point i wanna cry it hurts so bad can you check to see what it is and he said ist normal and he will not check for dilation til im in active labor he wont listen and its real frustrating and the head nurse is his daughter and she trys to get the best for the patients but he turns her down and does things his way she actually remembers my name unlike my doctor sadly ): @babybermea

Girl yes I was and am always worried about the littlest things ! When's your next visit why don't you mention the pain and issues and ask him what does he feel like has caused it and if he can check you for dilation if you want that and he has to listen if he doesn't talk with the head nurse

well he has to check he doesnt remember me i dont think he has alot of patients and all i no is something is wrong just wish he would listen and im a ftm to its so hard i get worried over everything lol @babybermea

I'm sure he knows you best maybe he doesn't feel like your ready and I have seen some posts about women who say checking for dilation can cause labor so maybe that's why . I guess every doctor and pregnancy are different in that way . In my case I'm glad they checked bc as of last week I was already 3cm and I would have never known bc this is my first pregnancy def made me step my game up and get stuff ready lol

really my doctor wont check for dilation and i tried to explain how bad it hurts and he kept saying no he wont check until im in active labor so now i dont really no whats going on ): @babybermea

On and off for the past few weeks ... Some times I literally stop my self in my tracks it just takes the wind out of me .. My doctor said it was bc I'm dilating but also bc everything's dropping and pressure from the baby

@babybermea, it hurts so much it sucks how long have u been having it ?

I feel that pressure so often and it hurts so bad my doctor said to chew on ice chips and lay down if they start to go away its false if it's not going away is the real deal
