Doctors Apt

I'm am now going to the doctors two times a week thanks to the ultrasound tech that measured my fluids wrong. So on Friday I went in after work and they watched the babies heart rate for about 30 min. The doctor reviewed it and said everything looked great but the cord is wrapped around his neck, not good. Hopefully that will change. Then I had an ultra sound to check the fluids around the baby and everything looked good but the baby had turned. So instead of looking toward my back he is looking toward my belly button. That's not goo either. I have now been on my hands and knees a lot to try and help him turn into the right position, I read that it is suppose to help them turn.

As I was talking to my doctor he says, I was really hoping that you would have gone into labor after the last visit. I ask him why, I am only 38 weeks I have 3 or 4 more weeks that the baby can stay in there. He told me that he has a bad feeling about me staying pregnant for much longer. Confused I asked if there was anything medically wrong with me or the baby that is concerning him. He said no but my gut feeling is usually right on these things.

My feelings on this are a little confused. Its seems a little unprofessional for him to just say that he has a bad feeling. Unless there is a real reason to be in a hurry, I don't mind being pregnant for another 2 weeks or so. I hope everything goes well and the baby continuous to stay healthy.

On Tuesday I had a doctors visit, I was super exited because we had an ultra sound scheduled which means we got to see the little guy. Cody and I went to the ultrasound tech and she didnt say much but I figured everything was fine. Then we went up stairs to my OB and the nurse directed us to the ultra sound room. I thought it was weird to be having another ultra sound when I just had one. Then my doctor got to the room and told us that my previous ultra sound had shown that my omniotic fluid was super low. It was measuring at around a 2 and average is 8. He was super serious and said I would like to get the baby out no later than tonight. My thought was, oh geez this probably means c section. I really really did not want that but I wasnt scared and was ok with it knowing this what out of my control. Poor Cody looked like he was going to faint.

Anyways the doctor wanted to do another ultra sound to see what measurement he got and when he did it it was up to 8. Which is perfect, right where it is suppose to be. Because of that little scare he has me on high alert. He now he has been monitering the baby a lot more and having my come in twice a week for a stress test to make sure the baby is ok. Im really glad that is was just an miss reading but it got me to realize that the baby is going to be here any day. Im not sure if im ready yet. I would still like to decorate the babys room and clean the house really well. But ready or not the baby is going to be here soon, so I best be getting ready for him.

Oh and just for a side note... I was not very happy about this. When he check my cervix to see if I was diolated he sweeped my membrains without asking or telling me. Im only 37 weeks and sweeping your membrains will put you into labor if the baby is ready. I was so crampy and spotting for the next two days. Yeah, Im not to happy with him. But im not in labor yet so I think the baby still wants to cook for a while!

Week 33,34,35,36

Wow! Where has the time gone? I thought I only skipped one week. Anyways I will try and recap what has happened pregnancy wise in the last month.

This month has been great! I am actually love being pregnant lately.

I love the round belly, feeling the baby move, buying baby stuff, talking to friends and family about different baby and pregnancy topics. I really wouldn't mind if I was a week or two late.

I had both baby showers this month. One that my friends through me and one from my mother in law threw me. They were both so much fun! There was so much good food and the baby got so spoiled with gifts. This little guy has more clothes than I know what to do with, I cant wait to put them on him!

As for symptoms I really cant complain to much. I think I have it really easy.* I did get a few stretch marks on my sides but I have come to peace with them. I decided however my body changes it will all be worth it. *My back is bad:( It really hurts, especially after a long day of doing hair.

Other than that I cant complain. At my last doc apt I was 1cm dilated and 50% effaced and the baby has dropped and is in the correct position. He is all ready to come but I hope he stays in there for a few more weeks. Just so I can get the house cleaned and his room all decorated:)
