How far along will you be? 36+2
What is being addressed? We will be checking for further dilation and my bp since it had been running so high.
Questions/Comments /Concerns : I am interested to see what she will say since my hospital stay. She didn’t seem concerned about my high bp but all the residents at the hospital did. They wanted to induce me but she wanted to wait until I was 36 weeks, now that I am I am wondering if they are going to let me go until he decides or if they’ll do something.
I should get my scheduled date for delivery on Tuesday. If I make it through this week, I will be the most pregnant I've ever been. Which is both exciting and scary, lol. I will be getting my NSTs and growth scan with BPP. I should be getting my GBS test this week.
@ashkee05 Good luck today. Hope your BP is better and baby can come on his own time.
@highsteaks I'm praying everything gets scheduled easily and delivery is smooth and both girls are strong and healthy.
I will be thinking about you guys and the babies!!
@highsteaks that sucks about the secretary, I would definitely make sure to bring it up!

What is being addressed?
My spine/hips- chiro suggested on Friday that I come in twice a week for a bit to kind of help with my hips- I have some structural issues apparently so I'm kind of making up for lost time.
Questions/Comments /Concerns :
Not really, my main objective for going to a chiro was to help with back/hip pain while also making sure I had someone highly qualified who could help me in case the baby decides to flip or go breach.

What is being addressed?
NST
Questions/Comments /Concerns :
baby was very active today which helped us get through the test quickly. Still on track for induction 10/25 due to size and excess fluid. It feels really good to have a firm end date.
I'm pretty sure it's this Friday I just forgot to add it to my calendar lol.
I had one today and I have one on Friday.
My OB made a comment today that he can't believe how calm I am at every appointment. I told him I didn't see any sense in getting worked up, I've done my research and know what the risks are and we're doing the right things to keep an eye on the babes. Between my OB and my MFM, I'm confident that we're getting the care we need. So, nothing to worry about, just more to prepare for. I guess that's not normal?
Midwife estimated baby at 4 to 4.5 pounds and a heartbeat of 150!
at the nst, the nurse said that baby b’s heart rate was a bit high and had me bring the read out to the ob so she could see.
induction is officially scheduled for this thursday morning, 34w exactly.
@highsteaks - exciting!! Two more days! I'm sorry that OB didn't seem to take you or your MFM doc seriously. That's frustrating.

What is being addressed?
BPP, weekly appointment, flu shot, GBS swab
Questions/Comments /Concerns:
Baby passed his/her BPP with flying colors and my fluid level is back to normal (it was just barely high last week). The PA went ahead and checked me since she was doing my GBS swab anyway. Finger tip dilated and 80% effaced. I MIGHT consider a VBAC if I happen to go into labor on my own before my scheduled c-section and baby isn't measuring big.

A growth check sonogram and OB after, also had the group B testing done.
Questions/Comments /Concerns : Everything looked great with baby! Measuring right above 7lbs, so expecting another large baby. We didn’t check for dilation because my cervix is tilted and it hurts like crazy. Doctor said she would be shocked if anything happened soon. Although I am ready to meet this little one, my goal is at least 39 weeks so baby can be nice and big.
I found out today that I’m GBS negative again. So, don’t have to stress about getting to the hospital early which is nice. One less thing.
Have my 37w appt on Friday. They’ll offer a cervix check but I will decline.

What is being addressed? Size
Questions/Comments /Concerns : Baby boy is measuring 7 lbs, 2 oz already. Thank God I'm having a scheduled c-section. I have to go back in on Friday to have fluids checked. Apparently I have high amniotic fluid.
@highsteaks how frustrating but hooray for a set date! Also thinking of you
Anxiously awaiting both your updates!!!

Came in early to ask questions about my sciatic nerve pain and my 34 w appointment.
Questions/Comments /Concerns :
Dr is having me start physical therapy once a week to help with the nerve pain. She said the humidity / fluid retention and pelvis opening up are what's making it so bad. Basically keep walking to keep fluid moving, do stretches, ice and heat and just deal until delivery. Going to be a long 6 weeks. Doing my best to keep the end game in mind and not pity myself. I have a really hard time taking it easy but the time has come to ask DH to help with more things.

What is being addressed? GBS screen, flu shot, cervix and fundal measurements.
Questions/Comments /Concerns : Everything is going well! Tummy was a little bigger today (still within normal limits)-- I had added some carbs in since the polyhydramnios resolved, so maybe I'll cut a few more out again. Cervix is locked down, lol.
@highsteaks - OMG, Thur is tomorrow! (Well, for you it's actually already Thursday I think.) I will be thinking of you and I hope everything goes smoothly!!
I'm so excited for you both!
Today I had an ultrasound to check baby's size. He is right on track measuring at about 6lbs 4oz. I hope he doesn't get too much bigger but most babies in my family were around 8lbs. We will see what happens

Standard weekly appt.
Questions/Comments /Concerns :
Baby freaked out the Dr a bit this morning and it was so funny! The Dr went to take the fundal height, and I felt the baby move a little and thought he just got kicked but he sort of jumped back and said "Whoa!" He went on about how if men had to bare children then our race would have been extinct years ago and that he knows that baby movements are bonding for mom and baby and he's seen plenty as an OB, but it's still sort of weird for him. I leaned up and looked at my belly and baby was sticking all the way out! My stomach was almost cone shaped to the side where the baby was. I have not seen baby stick out that much yet, and it was sort of freaky! We both watched as the baby moved back and my stomach went back to round and smooth and he was able to take the measurement but it was pretty funny!

@tessiesmom26 very funny! as this is my last pregnancy, i’ve been trying to savor all the movements the last few days. they really are special.
My only concern was my BP(it’s been 130/80 the last two weeks, it’s normally 110/60...). OB said with no other symptoms, she isn’t super concerned about inducing early, but then she asked how late I want to go before discussing induction, and I said my induction with DD2 only took 90 mins and was wonderful and I’m actually more concerned about going into labor at work with how fast that labor was, and I am good with anytime after 39 I weeks because of that, so...induction tentatively scheduled for 10/25, eeeeek/yay!!
Baby girl continues her uncooperative streak. Mfm said they may even have her do an echocardiogram after birth because she has yet to give a completely clear picture. However, they have no reason for concern...so I'm not worried.
