37weeks

Tues back to the doctors for 37week check up:

  • 2cm dialated
  • TJ-baby now weighing in at the same as last week, i.e. not the huge bugger they all though it was, but still at about 1week "older" than average sizes.
  • doctor took lots of ultrasound shots - got to one point where he asked me if I knew the sex, I said "no" he said do you want to know I said "no" lol so he skipped over that part fast. Got a cool foot "photo" as well as some face shots, and one of TJ-baby doing the "peace sign" haha.
  • overall very quick check up, was told he would see me next week if not before...

    I have spent the whole week thinking/praying "this is the day" only to get to Saturday morning at 6:40am where I am dropping my husband off at the bus stop for his week-long business trip to France. Just got the phonecal to say he is boarding the plane now.....am now hoping that everyday until he gets back (next Sunday) is NOT going to be "the day".

    Although, I have been feeling a bit "funky" since yesterday morning - feel like baby has dropped (again?) and is putting pressure on my pelvic bone so it hurts when I walk/move...

    So I guess the question now is, what can I now do to keep TJ-baby in??

    My parents have now taken k off for a walk so I can have a break - what a godsend them being here. Gonna lie on the sofa until they get back - no unecessary movement this week - don't want TJ-baby to be dislodged out, haha (brackets: SIGH!!)

    1. Hope TJ-baby stays put! I actually want bub to stay put as well as it's Liam's birthday on the 19th and I don't want to be in hospital then. I also feel more pelvic pressure but doctor told me last week she hadn't really dropped. So who knows? My mum arrives on Monday so unless something happens very quickly she will be here for the birth which is a relief :-) Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy!

    3. Bubs will stay in there if he knows whats good for him. Hope hub has a list of nice smellies and bollie for duty free!! Gotta celebrate these things in style. I swear I'd sneak in at least a half size bottle of V into the clinic - if god forbid I ended up there 40 weeks pregnant again. Will try you again before I leave on Sunday. Enjoy the couch :)
