@LCTBQE: yeah because of how long it takes they handle it based on how far you are along. If you’re showing obvious symptoms and you’re like 35+ weeks they might just opt to do it at 37 since waiting for results past 37 weeks can be fatal. Likewise if you’re 37+ weeks I don’t think they’d bother testing if it seems pretty likely you have it based on symptoms and 37 is considered full term. So since I’m 35.5 weeks AND I did have it last time I feel like she might just want to schedule for 37 and as much as I bitched to you about wanting this baby out and hoping it happens ASAP, I’M NOT READY Basically I’m afraid to report my itching to her even though I know I have to.

But if results somehow are faster now and we can avoid unnecessary 37 week delivery Id be way more relaxed.

@Anya: that’s what I’m afraid of. But for some reason being scheduled without being tested makes me feel so weird! What if it’s psychosomatic and I’m just kind of imagining it since I was about this far along last time. And I was on the low end of bile salts but still over the threshold. What if I’m just imagining it.

It’s an RCS so I guess it would be a different (better) experience than last time when I was induced at 37 and it was long and awful and failed and THEN I had a CS. Plus this baby is already really big (according to their measurements last week at ultrasound he’s already 7lbs!) so maybe it’s for the best? But ugh ugh ugh I thought I might have avoided it this time. I kept joking that I hoped I’d have it because I’m so miserably large and my back hurts and I’m over being pregnant but now I’m kind of panicking.
