What all happens at the 36 week check up?

I know you get checked. And when I had Mia, I had a stress test done.

They check you , measure your belly and listen to the heartbeat and usually do the strep b test

@countrymama121 i know she said an ultrasound too.

@girlmom. What they checking?????

Dilation.. and the strep b is where they swab your butthole

@girlmom. Oh dang I didn't know they start checking then

@girlmom. Wait i just reread that last part 😂😂😂

@motherof3nigerianprincesses, yeah I already started 🙄

@girlmom. I don't want my butt hole swab. My doctor didn't nothing about that at the next visit. I would've walked in surprised lol

@girlmom. They started checking you? Is it because you're small

It’s really simple and doesn’t hurt. They have to make sure you don’t have the bacterial infection. If you do have it, they just give you medicine while in labor

@motherof3nigerianprincesses, no cause I dilated early with the other girls.

@girlmom. I already take so many different meds i hope i don't need this one

@girlmom. Oh dang your body was ready

@motherof3nigerianprincesses, I’m still closed thank god but I’ll be getting checked every time 😩

It’s through the IV

@girlmom. Ooohhh okay that's not bad then. I'll pray that you'll stay closed! I've been having contractions Lately. Today i felt sick like i needed to faint and i kept getting hot

@motherof3nigerianprincesses, yeah that’s pretty normal around this time. Take off your clothes and drink some cold water 😬

@girlmom. That's what I'm doing now.

@girlmom. Wait so the rest of the pregnancy is like this?

@motherof3nigerianprincesses, if you do a lot during yes at night you can feel that way.

@girlmom. I'm not doing anything but sleeping

@motherof3nigerianprincesses, you haven’t done anything all day?

@girlmom. No i have i mean yesterday night i didn't do too much so idk why i feel sick today

Blood pressure?

@girlmom. It's like when i stand up then i get hot and a little light headed.

@motherof3nigerianprincesses, yeah that sounds like high blood pressure.. do you have machine?

@girlmom. I'm not sure. I checked on Wednesday and it was slightly elevated (126/94) i called the doctor and all they said was to relax and take the Excedrin.

@girlmom. No i don't

@motherof3nigerianprincesses, that’s crazy that they told you take that 🤔

@girlmom. It was the nurse. Remember the other day I wasn't feeling to well

@girlmom. I was having the headaches. But wasn't feeling well

@motherof3nigerianprincesses, well first sign of high blood pressure is headache

@girlmom. 😒 i really hate that they don't take anyones signs seriously

@girlmom. I'll go check it tomorrow. So if it's high should i go to the hospital?

If it’s over 140/90, yes you should go in.

@girlmom. Okay I'll see how I feel tomorrow and will go check it. But I've been feeling faint all day. I tried to cook and wash dishes this morning and it was so hard on me. I was just scooting the chair across the floor because as soon as i stood up I swear i was going to fall over

Yeah that sounds like your blood pressure for real!

@girlmom. 😔 I'm glad you let me know. I'll go in the morning and check it

@motherof3nigerianprincesses, let me know how it goes!

@girlmom. I will! It kinda makes me upset that they don't check that if someone calls about having blood pressure

@motherof3nigerianprincesses, you should def complain when you go!

@girlmom. Oh i will. I look to them for advice and they don't tell me to do anything but relax

@girlmom. Might be why Cletus won't leave me alone 😂 he's been super clingy!!!

@girlmom. He's trying to come in my room now

@motherof3nigerianprincesses, awww he’s just making sure his mama is okay ☺️

@girlmom. It's both cute and annoying lol

@motherof3nigerianprincesses, our cat has been acting out sooo bad! This morning I found poop on the floor in the girls room! She’s never pooped anywhere else, I just don’t understand

@girlmom. My cat is all on me. I think he knows something
