Re: Appointment Check In (week of 02/02-02/06)
How far along are you? 38 weeks
Estimated due date? 02/20
Symptoms of labor? Sporadic contractions, but nothing close enough to time. It's nice to know that my body is at least somewhat attempting to get ready for this
Any complaints? FRIGGIN LIGHTNING CROUCH OH MY GOSH! Little Man has dropped, so I keep having these sudden bouts of discomfort in my pelvis. No fun.
FTM? STM? FTM.
Medical highlights of your appointment: Finding out that Little Man is head down and engaged. They also checked his heartbeat, which was perfect.
Do your doctor/midwife do a cervix check? My midwife decided to do a cervix check. While poking around with the Doppler, she became concerned about his position. The cervix check confirmed her suspicion that he might be sunny side up. So I've been given these exercises to do to hopefully help flip him around. I also now have an ultrasound next week. Fingers crossed that my Little Man spins!
Are you dilated? Didn't ask.
Do you have a scheduled c-section or induction date? At this point in time, no.
When is your next appointment? I have an ultra sound on Tuesday at 38+4.
Estimated due date? 2/26
Symptoms of labor? Sporadic contractions. Just feels like I'm about to start my period. They kept me up a little last night but they never got stronger/closer together!
Any complaints? The sporadic contractions aren't super fun! And this "staying hydrated" business has me getting my exercise in for sure. So. Many. Bathroom. Trips.
FTM? STM? FTM.
Medical highlights of your appointment: He's no longer posterior.. Well, at least at the moment. He showed he's still very wiggly and capable of turning around!! He laid on one side, the other, and had his back facing out all in the duration of the appointment. I wanna get that kid in the right position and do a bunch of squats to try to get him "stuck" like that!
