Doctor's are irritating sometimes

So I'm trying to be optimistic and benevolent about my doctor but this week just kind of pissed me off.
I went to the doc this Tuesday and after examining me she said that I was almost dilated to a 2; before I knew it she started stretching my cervix-she started explaining exactly what she was doing AFTER she started doing it! Not that I mind the procedure in itself because it is supposed to help further dilation and release a hormone that helps bring about labor. I did mind however that it wasn't really explained before it was done-and afterward I did have some spotting which is concerning to any pregnant woman even if it is to be expected.

The thing that really bothered me this week is that I was told nonchalantly to keep taking my iron supplements. My immediate thought was, what iron supplements? No one told me that I was supposed to be taking extra iron! I have been pretty anemic since 34 weeks along and was supposed to start taking iron TWICE a day (which is a lot more than the recommended limit considering that is on top of a prenatal vitamin that contains iron too). NO ONE TOLD ME!

The nurse called me today to tell me about my blood test results and told me that if I couldn't get my iron levels up then I would most likely have to have a blood transfusion after delivery. Not a fan of procedures that don't normally go with the whole 'having a baby process'. Now that I'm so close to the end, I'm a little paranoid that I won't be able to get my levels up in time. What if I go into labor this weekend? I only started taking the extra iron today! It is just irritating that this information had fallen in a deep dark hole somewhere only to resurface this late in the game.

In other news-I have been having some contractions lately...nothing serious or regular, but it's neat and uncomfortable at the same time. It is neat because I know that I'm at the end and it is uncomfortable for the obvious reasons!
I will also be induced the week of my due date (if the doctor ever calls me back-yet another thing that is irritating) if I do not go into labor naturally-which is nice to know because I am/was very paranoid about being late-now I don't have to worry!!!
