Growth US

Mrs_M

When did you get your final ultrasound?

When I asked my MD he said, does this baby feel bigger to you? I said huh? I was pregnant about four years ago, how the hell would I remember that? He said, we usually don't check approx size if you've had a pregnancy before. Ummm yeah, strange to me, then again it's Kaiser. He ordered it since the baby feels a wee bit bigger, plus I had DD at 35w 6d, and I am approaching 38 weeks with a boy. They want me in on Friday, so maybe he's going to be 8 lbs by then, lol. I've only gained 10 lbs, so maybe he's 6-8. We will see since its plus or minus a pound.

I don't know if I get any more ultrasounds - it's one of my questions for my OB (I have an appt tomorrow but it's with a midwife in the practice, not one of "my" OBs - I had to make a last minute schedule change due to a family funeral on Monday)

my last US was around week 32,33 I think.  She was weighing in around 4lbs 8oz. Lets see, that would put her around 7, 71/2 lbs now...If I go full term that would make her around 8, 8 1/2lbs. If she gains the average half lb a week. Is that what they still gain this far along?  Just hoping she stays under 10!

We had our last ultrasound at 35 weeks. She was just about 6 lbs at that point. That should put her around 7-7.5 now if we're maintaining that average .5 lb a week formula.

I gotta say I really hope she comes out soon because having 7lbs of baby smashing all the parts in your lower region is really really fail. I don't know what's worse, the pain on my bladder or the hemroids.

All I have to say is god bless those women who carry low the whole time! LO started dropping about a week ago and thats a whole new set of pains and aches!!! I don't think I can take another 2 weeks of this. If I don't get stuff done by noon, I'm toast. can't walk, or sit.  The only thing that feels good is laying on my side...well, until my hip goes numb....

Thank you!

I feel like less of a cry baby now for being miserable since she dropped at 34 weeks.

 I've been like this for 4 weeks now and it's all I can do to stay vertical or sit for more than an hour or two.

I wanted to gut my OB when he told me "pain is not a medical condition when you're pregnant" when I asked to be put on bed rest and taken out of work.

We are all so close and YEAH I am READY! I have the urge to CLEAN, however I get these a** cramps after doing too much, lol. I get my ultrasound on Friday @ 2, however I am somewhat hoping my water breaks early in the morning. 

I honestly wouldn't want a giant baby boy. I want a lil guy like my DD was. I know you get what you get. My total weight gain is 10-12 lbs, so maybe he's tiny. We will see on Friday.

We are the next three to go on here, aren't we? Oh BOY!
