Blood Pressure: 117/76
Uterus Measurement: 35 cm (1 week ahead of schedule)
Iron: Still low (10.7 when it should be 12) -- they changed my iron supplement..so hopefully it will come up
Fetal Heartbeat: Her heart makes a tick tock sound!
Dr. Bauer went over all the risks of labor and delivery. I had to sign an acknowledgement of the risks. Chris was upset they called delivery a procedure...he thinks of it more as a miracle! :)
Overall, a good visit.
34 Week Update:
40 Days Left!
Baby's size: Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds (like your average cantaloupe) and is almost 18 inches long. Her fat layers — which will help regulate her body temperature once she's born — are filling her out, making her rounder.
Baby's development: Her skin is also smoother than ever. Her central nervous system is maturing and her lungs are continuing to mature as well. If you've been nervous about preterm labor, you'll be happy to know that babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine. They may need a short stay in the neonatal nursery and may have a few short-term health issues, but in the long run, they usually do as well as full-term babies.
Best of the week: Talking with my cousin about childbirth and getting tips from them! :) Also, having my 3 year old niece think the nursery was her dream world b/c she could be a pretend mommy there! Too cute!
Worst of the week: Little sleep due to my active girl! I'm so tired I now fall asleep anytime I sit on the couch to watch t.v.
Side Effects: Sleepy! Sleepy! Sleepy!
Cravings: Taco Bell
Anticipating: My last baby shower will be this weekend in the Atlanta area! I can't wait to catch up with my girlfriends!
Here are this week's goals:
Continue writing letters to Bella in my pregnancy journal -- I wrote several last week!
