... til my due date at least. Thats only 70 DAYS!!!! aghhhhh!
I had my 30 week appt today and will now begin seeing my Dr every 2 weeks. Blood Pressure was good, Heartbeat was strong, weight gain was normal, yada yada ... and basically, all's well.
At the end of the appointment Kalina asked if the Dr was going to do an ultrasound - Our OB replied by saying "Sure, as long as your mom & dad are ok with it". Yayyy! We weren't supposed to have another ultrasound again unless they suspected any problems.
She confirmed that the baby was in a head down position and the placenta had moved up top
(it was previously on the front wall of the uterus.) We saw her head, her heart beating nice & strong and her beautiful spine. Chances are good that this is the position she will stay in until delivery ... making for another speedy labor (CROSSING MY FINGERS!).
I also found out today that my Dr. doesn't like to let women go more than 1 week past their due date. At this point they will induce - which scares the crap out of me! Kalina was 9 days overdue ... so if Baby Brooklyn follows in her sisters footsteps I will be begging for just a few more days before being induced. While I trust my Dr. - Id much rather have my body do it on its own.
Baby Brooklyn is the size of a cabbage this week ...
