Soooo...baby in the belly hasn't really been moving much at all today.

I've been having pains on my right side, but it's up by my ribs/on my side. I'm hoping it's just a muscle spasm...

Anyways, I've been having soooo much discharge, It makes me wanna shower after every time I potty!!!!

And it's not just creamy discharge, it's like boogers on the toilet paper. Thick, Chunky, Boogers. BARF! It's soooo gross!!!

Man...I hope she's not planning on coming out soon. WOAH...THERE she is!!! LOL! She must have sensed I was talking about her!!!

But Monday I'm going to tell him I don't want to be checked because I don't want him stirring anything up down there. After the 20th, he can do allll the checking he wants!! But till then, HANDS OFF!!

Anyways, me and Oni are gonna go take a nap. It's been rainy alll day here and it's making me HELLA tired!!!

Sounds like more mucous plug. I would describe a mucous plug as snot looking. Gross, icky boogers.

If your doctor says anything about checking you, please ask him what checking you will accomplish? And tell him you have PLANS that don't include delivering a baby until after the 20th. Smile

Also, the discharge has a slight smell to it. It's not strong, and it's not "yeasty" smelling. It's hard to explain. It's gross though.

I'm DEF not going to forget to decline being checked!! I just have this feeling that he'll "accidentally" sweep my membranes when he's up there. Ya know?

I'll be 38 weeks the day after my appt and I'm sure he'll have NOOO problem with me going into labor...I will though!!

watcha mean slight smell? hmm hopefully u dont have an infection of any sort, if it has anything to do with your bag of water it would smell like sweet smelling but if its foul id be hoping there isnt a infection that wouldnt be good for the baby. ah he might wanna check u though if thats the case.

I'm going to tell my Dr about the discharge. I might have an infection of some sort...and I would rather it be taken care of BEFORE labor begins.

In the very begninning of my pregnancy I had a vaginal infection and he gave me this cream to insert. He said that hot weather can cause the infection(due to increased heat in the vaginal canal) and it's been MIGHTY hot down here lately.

Man, this blows!

That does, well if he has to put his hands in your crotch tell him to be ever so careful, cuz if he puts u into labor he will pay lol j/k dont wanna threaten your dr. Do they just have to swab u to see if its an infection?

Yea, I think they swab for infections. At my first pap, he swabbed and rubbed it on this paper. It turned a certain color that indicated the beginning stages of an infection.

I would call and make an appt, but they don't see patients on Fridays and I don't have the car today.

I could always use my moms car (she works right around the corner), but I have Oni with me. And I dont want her there while I'm being checked. She doesn't like it...at all.

I guess I'll just have to wait until Monday(my scheduled appt).

I'm starting to think...

When I was in middle school, EVERY time I ate cookies (chocolate chip only), I would get a strange 'cookie' smelling discharge. EVERY TIME!! I told my mom about it and we went to the Dr. He said it was nothing. It was my body excreting some sort of chemical found in the cookies.

Sort of like when you eat garlic or onions...

Well Monday night I went to my moms house and stole a roll of Chips Ahoy Chocolate Chip cookies...and have been snacking on them all week!!!! And this odd odor JUST came about this week!!!

I JUST thought about this because Oni walked up to me wanting "cookie"!!!

I'm *still* gonna talk to my Dr about it on Monday!! So hopefully that's what it is!!

The smell was recognizable, I just couldn't put my finger on it.

Man, this is totally gross...

lol...interesting is a TOTAL understatement!! LOL! It's plain WEIRRRD!!
It's just reaaaaaaly odd that the smell started Tuesday after pigging out on effing choc chip cookies Monday night!!
I'll have to stick to Oreos!! LOL!!

Me & Oni didn't wake up until about 10.30 this morning. And we didn't eat until about 11/11.15. So baby in the belly was prob sleeping until she got her lunch!! LOL!

She's got the hiccupps right now...which are def letting me know she's in there!! LOL!

I laid down because I was having those pains in my back...right above my right butt cheek. It was like a muscle being pulled every couple minutes...mreh there gone now though!!

Hell, *I'm* amazed by my avatar!!! LOL!!
