33 weeks and "issues"

Oh man, what a ride this is becoming. I went to the doctor yesterday and baby looks good. Heart rate at 130 again, as usual. And my blood pressure is perfect. Thank God for that. When measuring my Uterus the doctor always comments that I am still VERY pregnant. In the last 2 weeks it has grown 4 cm. So I am now at 37cm. WOW!!! Big boy in there, but Grant measured big as well so I am trying not to worry about it. I had some questions for the doctor about some "issues" I have been having. Some things I have been trying to treat on my own for the past couple of weeks. Well when I brought these "issues" up to the doctor he was quite concerned and told me I needed to see a specialist right away or I needed to go to the ER. He gave us a recomendation of a specialist and sent us on our way. As soon as we got to the parking lot we called to get an appointment and were told that they are booked until December. LOVELY. So they gave us some other recomendations. When calling around we found that the soonest we could get in would be at least a week. We also found that the ER was not a good option. So I was pissed. This is something that needs to be taken care of NOW, but noone will help me. Give me a break. What options do I have then?? So my awesome husband got on the phone and convinced someone to get me in first thing tomorrow morning. So tomorrow morning I go into the "specialist" not knowing what to expect, I dont know what they are going to do or what they are going to tell me as far as the damage that may have already been done, I just dont know. I am nervous and anxious and scared. I wish my mommy could go with me.

The one thing that makes me feel a bit better is that my OB reassured me that this "issue" is not harmful to our baby boy. Thank God! If not taken care of soon, it could be harmful to me, but hopefully it wont come to that. Thoughts and prayers would be very appreciated.
