As the ultrasound tech began her measurements, she started with his head - I noticed that it measured 30 weeks! I didn't say anything at first and she continued to his belly...that measure almost 29 weeks. I said "Is he measuring BIG?" She said "He has a fat little belly and big head". He is measuring in the 70th percentile. The rest of his body is averaging out at about 29 weeks. Well, that explains why I feel like a popped over night, now doesn't it? He looked great and his chubby little cheeks are just too cute. Depending on how things go - I'll be re-checked around 37 weeks to make sure he isn't too big for me to delivery.
The Glucose drink wasn't as bad as I thought. I had to drink it in the car on my way in...I started at 8:30 and was done by 8:31. It tasted like an orange freeze pop...that wasn't frozen. My blood had to be drawn exactly 1 hour later - but I don't have "good" veins. It took 3 nurses and a lot of "attempts" before getting my blood. It wasn't a fun time. No news is good news, which I'm sure it will be. I'm now seeing my Dr every 2 weeks! I can't believe how close my due date is coming. I'm so ready to meet him.
That's all for today! Happy Thursday.
happy thursday! glad things are looking well!
ReplyDeletei had my glucose test tuesday - had to drink fruit punch. scored 137/140 (cutting it close!) and a 10.7/11 for my iron - so they want me to start taking an iron supplement. no biggie.
glad lil boy was active! and hope he doesnt grow TOO big for you! it's a weird feeling having all your appointments scheduled for every 2 weeks, isnt it? and then the month of april - every week. wowzers. we're almost there!
Awww, he is precious! :) We found out earlier this week that our twins, formerly boy/girl, are now boy/boy!! Shocker!! DOn't get too worried about the measurements---I was always told with my first pregnancy that the later the fetal age, the more inaccurate the measurements are. I can't wait for you to meet your lil' man!
ReplyDeleteGlad things are going so well! He looks like a cutie! Was your baby breech? Or why were you going to need a C-section? Don't let them tell you that you need a C-section based on the size of your little guy. I measured big throughout my entire first pregnancy. My daughter was 9 lbs. 9 oz. I was determined to have her naturally. It's amazing what our bodies are capable of. You can do whatever you put your mind to! :) (With good support of course!) Best wishes to you with the final weeks of your pregnancy & delivery!
ReplyDeleteMrsB -
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you passed! Barely. :)
Yes, it's crazy that we are down to two week apts. I'm getting nervous! Ahhhh! I'm more anxious though. I can't wait to meet him.
Amber!!! I can't believe you are now having two boys! That is a shocker. Did you buy a lot of girl stuff? or no?
Kelsey - At my 20 week appt, I had a low lying plasenta that was covering my cervix. They though it would pull up on it's own - which it did by abouot 2 cm. So that was the reason they thought I might need a c-section. I'm glad he's a little chunker - and you're right...I think I'll be very surprised what my body can do. I'm hoping to deliver him on my own. :) But he was not breech...he was in position. Here's to hoping he stays in that comfy postition.
Thanks for your support girls!
