Already???
Time seems to be going by so fast as I look back on this recent pregnancy. However, during the normal day to day life, it does seem like it is going on forever.
I am currently 31 weeks and 4 days pregnant. I am measuring at 32 weeks, which has been consistent through out the pregnancy where I have been measuring several days ahead of schedule. The baby's heart rate today was around 131 bpm. The doctor let me watch the monitor once she found the heartbeat and it was ranging from 127-131 bpm while I was watching.
Not too much I can do now about the shortness of breath or the back pain that seems to be a constant (at least the last 2 or 3 days). Sleeping has become more of a challenge as I am just not comfortable anymore.
Today I saw the same OB that had helped me out with the postpartum that I had with Loryn. I absolutely love her and wish that she was able to deliver Ethan (even though I did like the doctor that delivered Loryn). Well, I found out she is definitely not on the schedule for when I am due as she is due with her first child on April 8th. A bit bummed out about this, as I find her bedside manner to be great and she is very easy to talk to. After discussing the postpartum issues I had with Loryn today, I found out that my chances of having postpartum again are greatly increased. This is a bit upsetting, but they at least will monitor me closer this time around. Chances are that I will not be able to breast feed at all. But we will take that one step at a time (starting with how I feel after I have Ethan). During my visit they went back to check Eric's lab results compared to mine, and couldn't find where his results were for the genetic diseases that I tested as a carrier for. Several hours later, I received a phone call from the office and it was confirmed that Eric is not a carrier. Apparently his file is only linked to mine, so they could only see a snapshot of the labs that he had done and not the entire file. So that is good news.
My next visit is in 2 weeks when I am at 34 weeks.
