Encouraging dr. appt. today!
They did another ultrasound to check on baby's growth (to refresh your memory - 4 weeks ago, the ultrasound determined the baby to be measuring in the 92 percentile, weighing 5 lb., and abdomen measuring 3 weeks ahead of schedule)....surprisingly, now the baby's growth is right on track. Baby is measuring in at appx. 6 lb. 2 oz and in the 52.8 percentile with a heartrate of 167.
My belly is measuring at 38 weeks (we are 36 weeks). And, the best part is things are beginning to happen! I am 50% effaced and dilated 1/2 cm. A long way to go, but it is something! I don't have much of an appetite, I think the baby is taking up too much room in there making me feel full..and I lost 1/2 lb. from 2 weeks ago. I'll take it!
A lot of people ask me how I feel? Sleeping is becoming difficult...there is no comfortable position and I get up often to go to the bathroom. I feel a lot of low pressure and the baby is still pretty active. I am having a good amount of braxton hicks contractions...but not the real deal yet.
Overall, very encouraging dr. appt. today considering we are wanting to have a VBAC. My next appt. is in 1 week and hopefully we will have more good news to report then. Keep us in your prayers as we head towards the final stretch.
