Can I be done now?! Things are starting to get ridiculous! I went in today thinking it would just be a normal check up. With this pregnancy, it's always something different so I shouldn't of been surprised. I am measuring a bit small (Yeah, I know...I don't think I look small at all!) at 33cm and have been for the last month or so. I should be about 37 cm and I haven't gained any weight in quite a while. Overall, I have only gained 11 pounds. I was rushed in for an ultrasound to make sure that the baby was okay. If the baby was measuring small and my fluid was low or anything like that, I was to be induced this weekend. Of course I would of been excited but a little nevous too with it being so close to when Brittany lost her baby. I just love her so much and don't want her to be sad when my baby comes. I went to a maternal fetal monitoring place and had the ultrasound done. Everything looked fine and I was SHOCKED to find out that the baby weighs 7 pounds and 6 oz. I kept thinking, "Are you kidding me?! I still have 3 weeks to go!!!" I was pretty disappointed when again, I went home without a picture from the ultrasound! Anyway, obviously the baby is doing perfectly fine but they are concerned that the placenta might give out before it's time to deliver because of my high blood pressure. This means I have to go in every week for a non stress test aside from my regular check up. I had a non stress test done at 28 weeks and it wasn't all that fun. At least this time it won't be in a hospital bed but still, it's a lot of sitting around. Again, it's worth it for a healthy baby but I am starting to get anxious. The last couple of weeks are the hardest for me. I have trouble sleeping and even sitting because the baby likes to have his feet in my breathing space. I have to keep reminding myself that there are only 22 more days...Hopefully he won't go more than that because um, I don't feel like pushing out a gigantic baby!Friday, June 5, 2009
