Well I'm almost 35 weeks now, but I had my 34 week d/a yesterday and found out some fun information! The babies HB is great, 146 and the Dr. said he sounds pretty happy!
I also asked her if she would be able to feel around and give me an estimate on his current weight, birth weight and if she could tell whether he was head down or not. I was pretty sure he was in the "ready to go" position but it was fun to ask.
The Dr. says he feels about 5 to 5.5 lbs. right now and she is guessing he'll be around 7 lbs. when he is born. She also said he is definitely head down. Good Boy!
At this point they say babies gain about a 1/2 pound a week and if he only has 1 1/2 to 2 lbs to gain, he's only got a few weeks left to do it!!
Time is ticking away and after my next appt on the 16th, I start weekly appts. and that means we are really really running out of time now and he will be here very soon!!
I scheduled my Maternity Prepared Stay appt for January 14th which is basically just an appt to go in and pre-register, fill out paperwork, the birth certificate and write down any specifics for things I want or don't want.
Look for my next update around the 16th. Unless something crazy happens I'll probably just give an update from my appt.
Toodaloo!
