Now that we are all getting to the 3rd trimester, our appointments should be picking up as well. What's going on this week.

    Hope all of your appointments have gone well so far this week. I had a maternal fetal medicine appointment this morning to check how the baby was growing. The baby is 4.5 lbs and in the 34th percentile I think, so a little small, but I guess not anything to be worried about. Still I would have felt better had she been closer to the 50th percentile.

    My appointment went well other than I unexpectantly had to bring my 2 yo along. It started out rough until he realized there were toys to play with.

    Had mine yesterday - first actual high blood pressure reading despite being on meds. I was able to get it down before I left the appointment, so I'm not too worried. Babies doing well and moving around. I just kind of obsess over symptoms and the possibilities of something as simple as ONE high blood pressure reading meaning I'm going to develop pre-e. I'm hoping to kick that medical anxiety to the curb unless it actually becomes something to worry about!

    All of my babies have been around that percentile in utero/at birth and then have gone on to grow to all different sizes (my husband is 6’6”, my mom is 5’0”, and I am 5’6”, so I have one who is 99th percentile for height at 5 years old, one who is usually close to  75th percentile at almost 2, and one who is 30th percentile-ish at almost 4). Their heads were all smaller than 50th percentile in utero then literally exploded after birth - all in 75th to 98th now. All this to say, don’t stress too much about being on the small side now.

    @lindsye that is comforting, thank you. It has been astonding to me, as my husband and I while average sized people have rather large heads and my sisters babies have been enormous. Thank you for passing on the info.
