I went in for another preggo acupunture session today and they strapped me up to record BeBe's heart sounds & my contractions again. Once again, the machine's recording fairly regular contractions (not like time 'em regular but there're probably at least 10 contractions in the 30 minutes they had me on the machine). The midwife said, "Wow! What's your due date?" I told her October 3rd & she says, "your paperwork says October 2nd." Apparently all the paperwork she's received from both OBs (mine & the guy who's supposed to deliver me) says October 2nd. Not that it makes a difference but I was like, "I'm cool with a day earlier." This has created some confusion about whether I'm now at T minus 6 or T minus 5, though...I guess I'll stick with my original countdown - in any case it can't come quickly enough.
The midwife kept asking me, "can you feel your belly getting hard?" I had to tell her, "no." There was only 1 contraction that I kinda felt (also the strongest that the machine recorded), but I thought it was BeBe Schnegg moving at first. G was laughing when I told him that I couldn't feel the contractions...I had to admit that I don't have anything against being "immune" to contractions...That'd be pretty freaking sweet. :)
On a less positive note, the backup OB that I picked to deliver me & have seen twice is apparently not around at the moment...the midwife asked me which of the other two I'd prefer if I pop before he gets back. And I HATE them both! The one is just a super shitty OB with absolutely no bedside manner and the other one used to be my OB way back when until he was a total asshole in a for-fun soccer tournament with kids/women and I haven't been to him since...(yes, I live in a teeny-tiny country). Anyway, I picked the soccer asshole but I'm not happy about it. I told G about it when I got home and he was all, "but that's perfect! You could accidentally kick him in the face and use pregnancy/hormones as your excuse!"
Oh G, how witty you are. Good thinking!
