42 Week Appointment

MW just left and all is well. My BP is up 130/82 which she says happens a lot right before the baby is born. Casey's HB was 144. I had her check me I was at a very gooey and loose 2 so I consented to having my membranes swept. It was actually very pleasant. There was a lot, A LOT, of pressure but it was helpful to practice my breathing techniques. Colleen said I was very stretchy and receptive. I got stretched all the way to a 4 and she said I would probably float back down to a gooey 3. She also got some blood so all great signs. Casey is posterior again but a very even posterior so Colleen said as soon as I get some good contractions Casey should turn to an anterior position. I am going for a nice long walk to get lunch with Jon and hobble with my foot on the curb. Then after lunch it is carpet shampooing time.

40 Week MW Appointment!

So she thinks baby is no longer posterior and is just working its way down. I am pretty sure it is girl now btw but will be pleasantly surprised if it is boy too. My BP was 122/70 which is high for me but perfectly normal MW wasn't concerned. Babys' HB was 145 and I am still measuring 42 weeks so the no sugar thing is working and also Colleen said that is a good sign that baby is moving down too! Good overall appt. June was a pill because she should be sleeping and is currently just sitting next me zoning out on a book.
My next appt. is Monday @ 1 and she thinks it will be a post partum visit. I am not so inclined to jump on that band wagon. I am just going to enjoy the last few moments of my pregnancy where Casey is all safe and cuddled in my womb and no harm will come. I am anxious to meet my little babe but Casey will come when it is ready and that is when I will be ready as well. that is is a good mantra and I should repeat that to my self a lot!

Possible Labor

I have been contracting all day and so this maybe it! I am off to bed to try to rest and hoping to wake up in some good labor!

39 Week Appt.

It went great better than last week. My bp 102/06 and pulse was 65 and the babes HB was 137. I am measuring @ 42 weeks same as last week and she is guesstimating the babe will 9lbs and halfish. Which is right where June would have been had I continued being pregnant with her instead of the CS. No bladder issues or anything my urine was great. Went over my diet and that is great. Gave and discussed my birth plan also gave her a breastfeeding mom sign in case of transfer for my door. She thinks I am going to go over my due date which is fine I have no problem with that. I still think Nov. 4th would be great. But Jon wants it this weekend or next friday @ some point. So maybe a 41 week baby is what I need. I feel rather anxious and energized like I should be constantly moving even though I am tired. Also for sleeping she I could pick up some milky oats and/or melatonin to aid in my sleeplessness.

Also some may remember that the baby was in station 0 just chilling out in my pelvis. She is sure the babe is even deeper in there now. She cant really feel the head at all and my stomach is an obviously about 2.5 inches lower! I have also included my last belly picture of the pregnancy.

Ultrasound Today

My ultrasound went well. Jenell a really good friend from highschool went with me as it was too short of notice to get Jon the day off. I got a cute picture of the babes head which is nicely squished in my pelvis. Babe is head down and good to go.

36 Week Appt.

So my start to the day of people was a bit chaotic to say the least. I had written down that Colleen, my MW, would be here at 12:30. I had to pay Shawna for the prints I ordered so I had her stop by with the kids and they played with June for about 10 minutes (apx. time was 11:50) then there was a knock at the door. Well it was my MW apparently she was really supposed to be here @ 12:00 not 12:30. Then my mom and her partner walked in with her 5 year old. So in about 5 minutes my tiny apartment become a hopping party location! Shawna was about to leave anyways so she said her goodbyes and left then we started my appt.

My stats were fine 110/69, hb was 80 and baby's hb was 166. So all is well. She thinks the baby is deeply engaged in my pelvis and we are going to do an US on Friday just to confirm that it is indeed a head because she can't get an accurate feel.

I also got my blood drawn to check on my platelet levels. So hopefully those have gone up.

Pretty uneventful and a good appt

35 Week Mid Wife Appointment

So all is well and her assistants name is Bonnie btw..... She came over a few times but I kept forgetting her name. Anyways I am actually am 34w6d so yeah but you get the idea..... My BP was 107/69 and the babies hb was 140bpm. She guessed the baby is about 5lbs says it feels skinny and she also commented that it has leg for days it will probably be a long one just like June was. The baby is definitely head down and I have dropped. She also said the baby is engaged in my pelvis and the fun pressure on my cervix is the baby rubbing it's head on it. All in all a great appointment. My next appointment is next Wednesday on the 1st, they are all weekly appoinments from here on out!
