Had my 35 week appointment yesterday. Doc is very happy with how i'm managing my sugar. Only one high number in the last week. She confirmed baby is head down and that its her feet trying to literally break out of my side LOL. you can literally see the bump of her foot pressing outwards. Since i noticed something changed, i have been able to actually sleep the entire night through without getting up 3-4 times!! YAY for sleep!!!

Next appointment they will check baby's size and decide when to induce me. With the GD they will not let me go past 40 weeks no matter what and it might even be a bit earlier.

I am still on the fence about what to do for pain meds if anything. I don't want anything that will affect the baby or make her groggy when she is born. And i'm pretty sure i NEED to walk around as much as possible..i'll feel claustrophobic if i'm "chained" to the bed with an epidural.

Sometimes i still can't believe i'm going to be a mom, and we are finally having a baby. Its kinda like after immigration when a few times it was like "wow..i'm finally with David in the USA, and i'm actually married", like woah...lol

Went in for my growth ultrasound for 37 weeks. My OB and NST yesterday went great. So we were watching as they measured baby and everything is measuring 37 weeks except the abdomen which is back at 32 weeks..it hasn't really grown in 3 weeks It was pretty surprising. Did not see that coming. So we had a long talk with the neonatologist and he basically said with the growth dropping off so much there is no way they will let me go full term. He said the latest is 39 weeks and I will be induced by then, if not next week. He sent me for even more tests each week, so I go back again on Friday and Tuesday to have NSTs, OB visits and now full Doppler ultrasound to check blood flow and for fetal brain distress. He said contractions could potentially cause heart decelerations. He said for each appointment to bring my bags with me coz there's a chance I won't get to go back home. And that if the baby moves less than normal or I feel 'off' to come in to L&D... which freaked me out because sometimes baby is sleeping and how do I know for sure it's not just asleep.. the 10 movements in an hour I guess. But now I'm so scared I'll miss some sign of fetal distress.

Ughhh so not what I was expecting to hear. Last growth ultrasound had showed some improvement but it's dropped right off. Baby weighs just over 5 pounds now. To be honest I am hoping my water will just break so baby can come out and I won't have to worry. Plus I hear pitocin is not a lot of fun. I'm also supposed to rest .. guess I'll make that even more a priority.

Can't believe in less than 2 weeks we'll have a baby. All I want is for it to be healthy!!!!!

VeeNDee, Wishing you the best, for movements some moms will drink very cold water or orange juice to get baby to move. I also heard using a flashlight to your belly can sometimes make them move. Hopefully little one decides to come its own.

Congratulations Marilyn!

Marilyn, Emily is so cute! Glad she has made it safely into the world.

VeeNDee, I am sorry to hear the challenges you are facing. Have you tried eating extra protein to see if that will help your little one fill out? It is a recommendation for mothers of multiples.

AFM, failed my one hour glucose screen with a value of 189 when it should have been less than 130. I go back tomorrow for the three hour test that requires fasting, boo to fasting.

[Ontarkie 14,193]

Oh Lilac that sucks. I'm actually surprised the doctors are still doing the 1hr test. I was told they aren't doing it anymore as it's full of false positives, they do a 2hr test it's supposed to be more accurate and not as rough as the 3 hr one.

I go see the Perinatoligist (sp) on Monday, hope baby cooperates and we see what we are having. I'll be 1 day short of being 17 weeks.
