So today was my 34 week appointment. It was several days later than I have been going in for my appointments because they had to cancel my originally scheduled appointment. I am thankful that on some days I can go in at 7:30am and not be too late to work.
Total weight gain: 26 pounds and so not happy about it. At least since my last visit almost 3 weeks ago, I haven't gained any weight. My blood pressure may have been on the low side, but the doctor didn't say anything about it. Low blood pressure is a nice change, as I swear there are definitely days, where my blood pressure is elevated. I am measuring on time and really seem to be doing well.
As of this morning, Ethan was head down. Which is good. And he probably will not move from this position. Which means, if everything goes well, I shouldn't have to have a c-section. As of now, he has not "dropped". In fact, it feels like he keeps trying to scoot up under my ribs. He definitely keeps trying to stretch out, which is quite uncomfortable.
I did express my concern over the contractions. But since I am not having more than 5 in any given hour, there is no need to be concerned. I just need to keep doing what I have been doing and put my feet up/ lay down and drink extra water. At my next visit, they will check to see if I have dilated at all.
So statistics at this point:
Average size of the baby at this point: 17.2-18.7 in, 4.2-5.8 lb
