... that went well, yay!
At my 33 week appointment, my fundal height hadn't changed since the 31 week appointment, so the midwife sent me off for a growth check before my 35 week appointment. I was a little confused -- I could feel how much harder the wee beastie was kicking me! but made the appointment.
I had the ultrasound and my next checkup this morning. And it was fine! Absolutely fine! Came out 4 days ahead, overall. Kinda skinny belly, but normal head and long femurs. Amniotic fluid fine. Placenta and cord fine. All body parts they looked for (kidneys?): fine. I know the ultrasound weight estimates are total bunk, but still -- 5lb. 14 oz. was a comforting number!
Only thing that seemed worth worrying about at all: she's occiput posterior. Just like my first was for A WHOLE LOT of hours of labor... she turned just before I started to push. Sigh.
The midwife I saw an hour later was like, "So why exactly did we send you off for a growth check?" Ay yay yay. (Actually, I really liked the midwife I saw today; it's a group practice based at a hospital, so I've been trying to circulate. I really hope she's the one on call when I go into labor.)
