We've had two appts since I updated last - 4/5 and 4/12 - with my OB
We also had a high risk appt since I updated last, which was 4/13.
Our next appointment is 4/26, this appt will also have an ultrasound.
We had our pictures on Saturday, 4/14. :)
We, also, started our 'lamaze' classes on Sunday 4/15.
Easter happened as well. :)
As I said above, I'm starting to get SO uncomfortable. I am crampy and have mild shooting pains pretty low. They say that those are signs of 'contractions' but if it's not rhythmic & 'this many times' in an hour then it's just my body preparing for birth.
At our appt on 4/5, my BP was 109/64 and Brodys heartrate was 146.. she also said that I was measuring just a few days early. Also, as I mentioned above we will be having our 36 week appt and our 36 week ultrasound on 4/26. She said that we could start talking about a birthing plan at any time. She said I could write something formal out, or I could just speak with her/dr jaskot about it. She said that we will not discuss bed rest or inducing unless I'm at risk for preeclampsia or the baby is over 10 pounds... eek. The top of my stomach has been sore, but I supposed it's just because of everything moving and stretching around! She said the only thing that I could do about it is put heat on it.. She also said that I should stop traveling around 36 weeks. Other than all of that, she said that everything is looking great and Brody is doing fine.
I guess I haven't mentioned it yet, but we're going to get a birth story done. It's where a photographer is in the room with us photographing the birth (no nasty pics lol). She will also stay for an hour or 2 after the birth. So I had to talk with her & the hospital about what was acceptable and what was not.
At our appt on 4/12, my BP was 101/63. We just talked about where to go for the high risk appt and for the birthing classes. Also, since I have been feeling 'crampy & pains' they had me undress from the waist down and checked my cervix. She said that she could only get her 'fingertip' in which means not really any dialation at all, but she said that it was 'softening'. She said the rest of my appts will be undressed, so that they can keep an eye on my cervix. She also said that if I'm having 6 or more of those 'sharp' pains in an hour to go to L&D. She said if labor does start at any time after 4/13, then they won't do anything to try to stop it, because after 34 weeks they're doing well. OH and she also said that my belly is measuring a week ahead!
At the high risk appt, we just met with a Dr and discussed my blood sugar levels. He said that my lunch levels were a little bit on the high side so he prescribed me a pill to take with lunch so that my levels will be a little more controlled. That's basically all we discussed. Although, he did say 'you will probably have a big healthy baby.'
Our pictures went FABULOUS on Saturday. It was a gloomy day, and rainy all except for during our session. I believe we got a lot of good pictures. I CAN NOT WAIT TO SEE THEM ALL. yyyeeyy! I was actually feeling good and happy and pretty that day, so they should be good. :)
As for the lamaze classes, they're going to be pretty interesting & helpful.. I think. Yesterday was very informative which is great. I'm so happy that we decided to do this. I just hope lil man doesn't come before they're over!
Easter was great, as usual. I love being surrounded by family. It's always a blast. Also, it's great being able to watch another family member bloom with pregnancy!
An update will be coming your way at the end of this month.
