i need a funnel

I had my first weekly OB appt this morning: (almost) 36 weeks!!

I thought I had gotten better at peeing in the tiny cup, but no. I hardly got anything in it. It has a 2" diameter! Whose idea was it to have pregnant women try to pee in these things? If there's no funnel, the cup should be more the size of a large tub of popcorn.

Anyway...I'm measuring on track at 36.5 cm. 

She checked my cervix, since she was down there for the Group B Strep swab, and since I've been having a lot more contractions in the last week. I'm 2 cm, but still long, and baby's still high. With Nate, I was 1.5 around 37 or 38 weeks and stayed that way until my induction. So I'm not really worried, but she's going to keep an eye on me in case I am making progress.

Re: i need a funnel

  • I can't believe it's the end already...good heavens. I feel like this pregnancy flew by.

    I was the same way with the whole cup thing...I hated doing that because I was not good at it. At all. :P

    So if you wind up going into labor on your own, the c-section will still happen?

  • If there is time to set up and do a c/s, we will. She expects that if I do go into labor, I could progress very quickly, and we may not have time to c/s before the baby's born. It depends on how far progressed I am by the time we get to the hospital which way we go.

  • Glad to hear everything is going well! 

     

    Side note:  About a year ago, I was with a friend, trying on dresses to wear to another friend's wedding.  I tried on this dress that was a wrap dress with ruffles on the neckline. Well, my combo of D-size tatas, and the slightly too small dress made the ruffles stand straight out!  It was so funny that I had to show my friend, and she said it was like "a visual funnel right to my b00bs"!  So now, everytime I hear the word funnel, that's what I think about.

  • Yay!

    I hear ya on needing a funnel! By the end you can't even reach around/under your belly, let alone see, to know where you're putting that damn_ tiny cup...

  • I agree that you have had the fastest pregnancy yet! Did it feel fast to you or just us? I also agree about the cup!!! I definitely peed on myself a few times. They may as well spin you around a few times and blindfold you too! I think it's a cruel joke by someone very mean!!

  • We're officially on Rachel baby watch!

    Peeing in the cup is definitely part art/part science. I think every pregnant woman pees on herself at least once.

  • Glad to hear it went well, and I can't believe he's almost here.

    I was afraid they wouldn't have anything to test! I'm going to bet I pee on my hands 3 more times because I have 3 more appts.
