superfun morning @ L&D

in Pregnant after 35

Today I had a "visit" appointment with one of the other OBs in the practice. She was nice, but when I told her LO had been slowing down for the past few days, she decided I needed a non-stress test and ultrasound. So I was literally admitted to the hospital for these two simple, outpatient procedures. Freaked me the hell out. Turns out LO is just fine, which was clear from the first 5 minutes of the NST, but I had to go thru all that anyway.

In other news, LO is already weighing in at 5 lbs and I have a little over 7 weeks to go. OMG!!!!!!!! And, he is breech. I guess there is both time and room for him to flip, but you never really want to hear that, although I can't say I'm surprised. The level and type of pressure that I get way down low by my pelvis and bladder seems, at least to me as an inexperienced FTM, unmistakably due to leg stretches and a bunch of kickity-kicks.

Come on, August 18! My tingly-fingered, swollen-footed, waddling, exhausted self is so excited to meet you!!

    Glad all is well.  My LO didn't flip until 35 weeks, so don't  worry about that yet!

    My LO slowed waaaaay down at week 32 and it freaked me out!  My doctor said it is pretty normal for this to be a time when they slow down as they start sleeping more and they have less room to move around.  So I am glad to hear that everything was fine for you too! oh and don't worry about the breech yet (easier said than done) a lot of babies don't turn until closer to the due date.  Fingers crossed that the next 7 weeks go swiftly for you and that LO snuggles down to the proper "head stand" position :-)

    I'd try some of those yoga moves that are supposed to encourage a baby to turn...I forget which they are right now tho.

    I had just read that about how they begin to sleep much more so I wasn't entirely concerned about it but I guess this particular doctor has a rep for ordering potentially unnecessary tests. Better safe than sorry, I guess!
