3rd Trimester

Probably just being a worry wart but...

I still can not stop worrying about how my 38 week appointment went today.  This entire pregnancy the doctor kept telling me how LO and I were both measuring a little over 2 weeks ahead.  At a little over 34 weeks, we were both measuring 37 weeks and the doctor told me to get ready because she didn't think I would make it to my due date.  Well, I'm still measuring 37 weeks and I'm almost 39 weeks.  I've been a little dizzy the past week but figured it was normal since it wasn't all the time.  When they took my blood pressure today, she said it was really high and I had to sit hooked up to a monitor for 45 minuets.  I even lost 2 pounds in a week (which they weren't too concerned about).  So, when I go back next week they are doing an ultrasound to see about how big LO is and possibly do a NST.  If my blood pressure is still too high then I'm not allowed to do the water birth like I've been planning because I'll have to be monitored constantly.  I know, none of this is really all that bad but I'm still kinda disappointed and a little worried.  I just needed to vent a little, thanks for listening...well, reading  Big Smile

Re: Probably just being a worry wart but...

  • Aww I'm sorry this is happening to you, but try not to worry.... which is kinda impossible, but its best. I got a scare with my labs & BP about a month ago too. All you can do is be positive. It's so much better for baby & you to not worry. Especially for your BP- stress just jacks it up. I hope you get the birth you want! But if not, you're doing what you can to keep your LO safe & healthy.

  • Gosh, little girl is all over the place! So she was two weeks ahead for a while has now backtracked four weeks since she is two weeks behind now? I think I am reading it right. So much change. I hope you two get well soon and that your BP levels off ASAP. Hang in there

  • Thank you ladies!  My hubby is telling me the same thing.  I'm a little more calm now that I got to talk to him and take a nice relaxing bath.  Yes you are reading that right haha! At 34 weeks she was measuring 37 weeks and just kind of stopped growing (so the doctor thinks) so now that I'm 38W4D she is measuring behind...since I'm still measuring 37 weeks.  Now that I'm in a more calm state of mind, I was thinking that it is pretty common for ultrasounds to not be super accurate on exactly how big babies are and the ultrasounds have been on different machines each time so maybe that has something to do with it?
