Bomsu's daycare is on Easter break, so my husband couldn't come with me. I bought my ticket alone and found myself a quiet corner seat on a nearly empty train. When was the last time I went out by myself like this…? Right up until I left the house, I'd wished he could come along — and honestly, I was maybe 10% annoyed that he couldn't drive me. But now that I'm actually out here on my own… it feels kind of free. I like it.
I go to a clinic at Rothenbach, the last stop on the U2, and thankfully I made it there without getting lost and right on time. As usual, I went through the routine: urine test, weight, blood pressure, and then the fetal movement monitoring. The monitoring was rough because my cold has been making me cough a lot.
Normally they call you in pretty soon after the monitoring, but today the wait was unusually long. To make it worse, someone who arrived after me was called in first — and I suddenly felt a wave of irritation rise up in me. I think from next time I'll just go back to my old clinic. The people here haven't really done anything wrong, but I have more not-so-great memories of this place than good ones. My old doctor always seemed busy, but somehow I liked her better. Even back when my German was much worse, I felt like we understood each other more. I think that says a lot about how kind she was.
Anyway, after the long wait, I finally had the internal exam. The doctor said the baby's head still hasn't fully dropped yet. Then she recommended sex — and I genuinely thought I'd misheard her. I must have just stared at her for a solid few seconds 😂 In my head I was thinking, in this state?? For now, I think I need to make sure I go for a daily walk. Even though Bomsu isn't in daycare, I'll leave the two of them with dad and do a quick loop around the neighborhood on my own.
Bono, please come out soon. Mommy is waiting and her neck, back, and pelvis are all falling apart. Let's meet with real contractions — no water breaking first, okay? That's my one request. And please, don't grow your head any bigger. Mommy doesn't want a C-section or a vacuum delivery. Just come out naturally and safely. Please.
