This is why!

I never thought I would be that crazy person who bugs Doctors or anyone until I'm satisfied with the information they are telling me but apparently I am! After the past two days and the ordeal Rob and I went through I wasn't satisfied with why. Why we are waiting, why continue to monitor me and the baby for an extra week. I'm 38 weeks close enough I say.
Oh yes at this point in the post whatever you do......do NOT google, yahoo or any other search engine you use about what high levels of amniotic fluid leads to or what it can be a sign of. I did not do this either but after the doctors office called and Rob couldn't get a hold of his dad, Rob googled. He didn't tell me what it exactly said just that it wasn't pretty and he started to pace and bite his finger nails intensely.
Back to the story. So I called the office this morning asking all my questions to a nurse. She had no clue. Then after she realized that I wasn't going away so easily, made me an appointment to see the doctor. I pumped myself up. I told myself I wasn't leaving until I got all my questions answered and I was happy with his plan for me! I didn't hold it together very long, cry as soon as he walked through the door. Well it was the longest conversation I had with him and walked away feeling better. It boiled down to that even if the fluid level is high it can be monitored and he isn't concerned yet, next week could be a different story. Also he said that a 39 weeks delivery is better than 38 weeks. Since my body isn't ready yet for natural delivery he is hoping in the coming week it will me. It will help with inducing if my body is at least closer to being ready. So heres to me! I worked up the courage to get answers and I did! :)
