I had a doctor's appointment this morning-- I'll be going every week from here on out! Here are the stats from Baby Watch 2010: Week 36.
Weight: -2lbs from 34 weeks
BP: Normal
Cervix: Starting to thin, not dialating yet
Baby's Position: Doc said he's dropped some, but his position is still unknown! She said my cervix is up very high-- she could barely reach it, so she couldn't feel if his head was there. I was surprised that she didn't offer an ultrasound to check his position, since she had mentioned this before. She said we'd try again next week-- I'd feel better knowing that he's in the correct position!
Strep B Test: Should get the results back in a few days.
I haven't felt very well since I got back from my appointment-- the doc warned me that I'd probably experience some cramping and/or spotting from my first internal exam. I've experienced both, along with a lot of pressure and back pain. Trying to rest a bit today and take it easy-- but for most part, I'm feeling pretty good these days!
What a total bummer about the cramping and spotting. I was lucky to never get that; but yeah those exams are not exactly comfortable, huh. Take a rest from your lists and enjoy the final homestretch!! :)
ReplyDeleteI had cramping and spotting after every internal. I felt like my period was on its way and felt yucky too. The feeling and spotting for me was gone in about 24 hours each time! Take it easy.
ReplyDeleteOh I hope the cramping & spotting go away soon, that is never fun or reassuring. I'm glad that other than that - things are going well. I hope he's in the right position and stays there!
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon and next week doc can tell if he is in correct position ;O) which I am sure he is!
ReplyDeleteWow, Stef, you are almost there!!!!!!!! I'm sure the weekly appts will be super-reassuring from here on out. Yip!
