Just a quick update for all of my wonderful Labor Stalkers! :)
My OB appt went well. I'm 1 day short of 31 weeks, so they did my first internal exam and everything is closed as it should be! That put my mind at ease quite a bit. Dr. J told me that to feel lots of contractions is pretty normal at this stage since it hasn't been that long since I had Max. She said with every pregnancy women tend to be more active because they are running after more kids and she said the contractions are basically our bodies way of reminding us that we are pregnant and to slow down. She said to make sure I listen and obey my bodies reminders. LOL!
Other than that...everything looks good. I'm measuring 30wks...so pretty much on target and I weighed in at 122pds, which is a 20pd total gain for me which is right where I should be and ironically pacing the same as I did with Max.
I asked Dr. J if she knew her on call schedule for January and she said she's on call every Monday and she thinks the weekend of Jan. 20th. She said we'll talk about induction closer to my due date...but that it's typically around 38 1/2 weeks (which would be the wk of Jan 21st). I told her my deadline was January 26th (39 weeks) and she laughed and told me not to worry and that we are on the same page. :)
I go back in about 2 weeks and will then have an ultrasound to check on the low lying placenta. Hopefully it's moved up and out of the way.
No other news to report...I'm off to take a little nap!
