@mrsmommya that makes me feel better. It wasn't until now near the end when they mentioned anything. I know it's a lot harder for them to scan when they are so big. She would take 5 or 6 measurements of each body part and averaged them out, but some measurements were closer to where I should be so I guess I shouldn't be too concerned.
I have one month until my due date... and after seeing my friend have her baby between 34 and 35 weeks it is really sinking in that this could all happen at any moment now.
@sboston06 My OB sent me for and u/s at 35 weeks because she said it looked like I had low fluid. She was using a portable u/s machine and sent me to the sonographer who told me baby was measuring 5lb 11oz at that time. No clue how accurate that is. If the dr didn't detect low fluid I wouldn't have had a scan after the big 19/20 week scan.
SJGR yesterday... due to a persistent complete placenta previa, my OB has scheduled a RCS for 6/30. I'll be 36 weeks, so I had steroid shots yesterday and today to help baby girl's lungs finish developing. I've been working like a madwoman to get everything ready for my maternity leave and make sure that I'm ready to hit the ground running when I return in September!
So there's this boy. He kinda stole my heart. He calls me "Mom"
Had an ultrasound scheduled for 1 this afternoon follwed by an appointment with one of the OBs in my practice...baby boy wouldn't cooperate during the ultrasound and they weren't able to capture any respirations soooo I got sent over to L&D for monitoring. Got a cervical check and I'm 1cm dilated & 60% effaced. They fed me and have me hooked up to an IV for fluids...planning to do a repeat ultrasound in a bit. I'm hooked up to a monitor for fetal heart rate and one for contractions. Nobody (doctors/hospital staff) seems overly concerned but I've been silently freaking out...wasn't expecting an eventful appointment at all. Shit is definitely real right now.
@jjtruffles FX everything goes well for you! Same thing happened to me during an NST and BPP a few weeks ago; nobody seemed too worked up about it except for me, so I can totally relate.
I was told today that I'm being induced next week. I'm excited and nervous. My work schedule has been cleared. I feel like I have a ton of cleaning to do now.

@megstervt I came her to say I also bought a dairy product that expires after my due date. Thought the same thing - Wholly crap! This baby could be here before we finish this gallon of milk!!!
Went to doctors for weekly appt this morning. I lost six pounds and I'm 2cm dilated. So happy these contractions are actually doing SOMETHING even if it's just a little. But this baby really is on its way!
Thanks ladies @schaze@sboston06@calico34. After plenty of monitoring, feeding me and pumping me full of fluid, they did a repeat biophysical profile and he scored an 8/8. Such a huge relief! Guess he just felt like being a little stinker during the first one & slept through the entire thing...wouldn't wake up no matter what we tried. (He only scored a 4.) I finally got discharged from L&D last night after 7 1/2 hrs of monitoring. Apparently I was having sporadic contractions throughout the time I was there too and I had no idea.
It is now 9 days until my C-section on July 1st...I am in the single digit day countdown! Ahhh! So much to do!

@simplymizzj I'm due on the 4th, so I'll be 39w2d at my surgery. I thought maybe she was trying to get situated correctly but sure enough, I feel her hard little head back in the same spot under my left ribs, just a bit lower now. I am definitely excited and terrified at the same time!
I just had my OB appointment with the stretch and sweep. It was the first cervical check I've had and apparently I'm already 4cm dilated and 80% effaced. The Dr said I could go into labour anytime. I'm 38+5. Holy shit this is really happening. Guess I should pack a bag...
Re: S#!t just got real
I wish I could just stay at home with LO after my 8 weeks.
So a CS with a tubal for me.
the end is close and soon you'll have your baby!!
