it was good!

Very routine...heartbeat was 158ish..nice and strong..she says baby is low but not completely engaged. She says another 9lb plus baby if I go to term

Blood pressure fine

Only thing...in the past week fundus is measuring up from 36 to 39wks...it's been right on target this entire pregnancy and suddenly gained 3 in a week...she said it is normal to measure a bit behind or a bit ahead but that is a large gain in a week...I told her we could even see it on pics. in 4 days I suddenly got much bigger.

She thinks baby could come anytime... I decided against getting checked before I got there so we didn't check me.

So we had a great chat..I go back on Monday....it should be Wednesday but they have ameeting...oh well...I don't have much else to do so....may as well visit the mw!

Sounds like things went well. :) I have an appointment tomorrow and am considering getting checked. But I don't know, I think it would just add pressure to the pot. Now that I feel like I'm over the whole "false start" last week, and have kind of relaxed about things I'm thinking I should just forget it since it doesn't hardly mean a thing anyhow :LOL

I have an appointment Friday, but won't be getting checked either.
Everything is fine, I just don't feel I'll ever have this baby!!!

Glad you're both doing well! :D

I had my 36w appointment today. I was very happy, my BP went down a little, it was 110/78. The babys heart was 140bpm, I gained 2 lbs., and best of all...baby had his head down!!

:love Our midwife came for our home visit last night & stayed for 2 hours...we have to think about Vit K, PKU tests and so on... She found sugar in my urine (a LOT) as usual but I had the same w/my previous pregnancies (so did my mom) and finally did a fingerprick to check my blood sugar level- normal. Good! I'm in great health, baby is in great health. We're at 37 weeks now, and my baby is around 6 1/2- 6 3/4 lbs (guesstimate). She checked me; I'm 50% effaced, very soft cervix and a fingertip dilated. What does this mean? I don't remember if effacing usually happens this early (this is my 3rd baby after all). I've got 20 days until my due date, so hmm....will she stay in that long? Excited- this makes it feel so real :love
