35 weeks Check Up

Mrs_MMrs_M
in Pregnant after 35

Happy to report the 35 week appt went well. I've gained a total of 7 lbs (which shocks me, then again I puked for 28 weeks on/off). Now I feel great!

The babys head is down and he is in a transverse position, which MD said was good. I didn't think transverse was good, but okay, plus I have 5 weeks and 2 days left (until Due date) in order for him to turn. He really pressed hard to find babys head. I thought ouch and I am not sensitive.

He answered all of my Qs and left me wondering about why they leave up if I think the baby feels bigger or smaller, then they schedule an ultrasound. I thought it was odd. How can I remember if he feels bigger than DD. Every pregnancy is different. I'd like to know if my baby might be approx 6-8-10 lbs, hello MD, lol.  I am hoping to have a VBAC. I have written a birth plan and was starting to discuss it and he was like, oh...yeah patients here don't write birth plans. I was like isn't that a good idea. He said yes and they already do what I want, however no need to write one. Thought that was odd.

 Thanks for listening ladies!

    YAY for good appointments!!  I'm hoping my OB can give me a "heads up or down" pat down at my appt. next week.  I'm obsessing over 'where is baby' since our ultrasound at 20 weeks he was breech.  I know he moves around a LOT based on the fact that I get kicked pretty much EVERYWHERE...

    Yay for good appointments!!!

    I have very little on my birth plan, but I have one.

    Basically the important stuff... like medicated birth, nobody in Labor room except my husband, the fact that i plan to breast feed, and a list of my current medications, last RHO shot, and my blood type/doctor list.

    love the good appointment!  My Dr. hasn't brought up a birthplan yet either. The only things I really want to make known are 1) Epi ASAP! LOL  2) no clamps/vac if possible, it just freaks me out 3) I'm breastfeeding so no bottles/binkys. Everything else I am pretty flexible with and will see how it all unfolds.

    Yeah ladies so glad for good appointments. I am STILL taking my birth plan to the hospital (Kaiser) because chances are my MD will not deliver the baby and I'll meet a stranger, lol. Usually the replacement/on call MD works out in my favor. Yeah BFing the baby and I want certain things. We are going on a hospital tour in 2 weeks, so we can check it out. Hopefully he doesn't arrive by then.
