Rate this Entry
Yesterday morning I work up not feeling well. I was having some what felt like normal menstrual cramping. I always related it to what the doctor said was " round ligament pain."
It wasn't bad but uncomfortable and took some tylenol.It seemed to take the pain away. I had to take it most of the day yesterday. Perhaps there is alot of stretching going on there and that was what I was feeling.The doctor said that unless it comes in waves and my stomach would contract/harden then it probably wasn't contractions. so that is a good thing. I am not that far away. I had our u/s again yesterday and appt.with doctor. I thought he might cervix check me but he didn't. I might have him start doing that at like 35 weeks just to see where I am at. I don't feel like I am dialated or anything of that sort. But the doctor said that with the second baby you could go alot sooner and dialate faster. I live 1 hour away from the hospital. I hope that that doesn't happen.
They are still wanting me to go for as long as possible and ideally 40 weeks would be ideal, but they are going to probably induce at 38-39. They don't want me to get stuck here in lakeland if I am having labor pains. HOwever, I would love to wait as long as possible just for the sake of his lungs to get developed. I just have to see what is best.
As far as any changes nothing is new from just last week. I am just continuing to go every 2 weeks for the doctors appt. and u/s are weekly. He is still passing all of the tests that they want him to with moving and all. He is getting big and got some fat on him now. He is 3.5 pounds and I have put on the weight too. I am only gaining avg. of 1 pound a week which is what they say I should be doing but now is when the weight starts piling on. I sure hope that I dont get much bigger than I am now. Oh the joys of pregnancy. Perhaps chasing after a toddler and playing with him has helped me not to put on so much. With my first I put on 50 pounds. Sheesh. Well, that is a quick update. Thanks for everyone's prayers and kind encouraging words. This site has been a great blessing for me to get in touch with so many dear and close friends who have such a special place in my heart.
Take care and GOd bless.
