37 Week Appointment

How frustrating appointments can be........I dislike them! My last appointment was 12 days ago...but now I have to start going weekly...so far I have been going monthly. Anyway, baby is still only somewhat engaged. I haven't started to dilate...so nothing going on. How aggravating! Nothing happened when I was pregnant with Madison but I was hoping this time around it would. I am severely swollen but since my blood pressure and everything is fine they can't do anything. Today I am so swollen and my feet look purple......it is horrible! It took forever to find the heartbeat but only because baby is moving so much. When my doctor went to check me......the baby jumped back up...basically the baby's head moved back up.........ahhhhhhhhhhh how frustrating!! My doctor said that usually in 2nd pregnancies you don't drop until labor is about to begin or begins and you don't dilate until that time as well........anyway..........I wait....... and.. wait........... but not much longer right? If I didn't have swelling issues I could enjoy this pregnancy more. And...I really wouldn't want to go too early....just when the baby is ready. I just don't know how much longer I can handle the swelling. I go back next Wednesday.
