All along, she has said 38 weeks, but today she said it will be sometime between 38 and 39 weeks - which means sometime between June 16-22. I have been counting down till the 17th all along, so I am really hoping for the early part of 38 weeks. Of course, she did say "IF" I don't go into labor first. I told her about everything happening with the contractions and mucus plug, and she said it's all normal for this stage of the game, just my body getting ready for labor. Too bad my body doesn't realize it doesn't need to do all this preparing, since there will be no labor.
Also, I gained 3 pounds. so now all I need to gain to get back to my pre-pregnant weight is one more pound. I think I can manage that in 2-3 weeks!
So, I will update everyone again after Monday, hopefully...

36 Weeks 1 Day
Well, here it is...Monday. Do I have a date??? Nope! I went to the doctor this morning, and basically she told me that her nurse, Debra, would call me this afternoon with my c-section date. Grrrrr. I lost 3 pounds since Thursday, so I am back down to having lost 4 pounds. Fundal height measured perfectly though. Not too much else going on, so I will let everyone know the date when I find out. |
