I'm so excited, I just got back from my 36 week Dr. appointment.
Things are going well. Blood pressure is good, weight is good, baby is measuring well, he is head down, and very very high. That makes sense, since I haven't had much of an appetite lately and I can just imagine that my upper organs, including my stomach, is squished to the size of a pancake.
So here's what I'm excited about, I'm starting to dialate! I'm at 1 cm. This doesn't really mean I'll go into labor anytime soon, as I witnessed with my pregnancy with Ava. I started dialating at 33 weeks with her, and gave birth to her a day before her due date. BUT, I did dialate to 5 cm before I felt anything! And that folks, is why I'm so excited. I'm hoping for a smooth birth again, and would be lucky to have an experience similar to that of Ava's delivery.
Sorry if this post is TMI for some, but I just had to share my excitement or I'll explode! :) Gotta love the crazy shifts of moods that pregnancy offers!
P.S. I really need to get some family/pregnancy pics done before this little guy is born!


One of the perks of having a baby is that I understood everything you wrote here.
ReplyDeleteGood luck! I'll be waiting for some pics.
This IS exciting news!!Congrats!
ReplyDeleteokay but the real question is, are you effaced at all? : )
ReplyDelete(my mom was an l&d nurse...we'd discuss this stuff at the dinner table, man.)
your Christmas card picture was GREAT! you are looking gorgeous as ever, Laura!
I am excited for you! (have I mentioned that lately?)
LOL, no effacement yet. At least the Dr. didn't say anything about it. I love L&D nurses. Thought about tossing my counseling career and going for that instead... :)
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks Ashby! Compliments are nice when you are 35 + weeks pregnant. :)
