34 weeks

Mar 30, 2009 16:34



Had my 34 week appointment today. All in all it was fine. My belly is measuring spot on, my blood pressure and urine are fine, her heartbeat was fine, etc.

The only thing I have been concerned about is her movement (i don't feel like she moves as much as she is supposed to...depending on the day she's either crazy or quiet...and like I wrote about my 32 week appt. the lady scared me saying even during her inactive times she should still move 8-10 times an hour blah blah blah). Well so today i saw a different doctor than last time so i made sure to bring it up (I even exaggerated so that they didn't blow me off....i said that sometimes it took like 3 or 4 tries to get a kick count that worked, where i had 8-10 movements in an hour....when really I don't know that I've ever really tried more than twice haha)...but they didn't seem all that concerned still. I mean, they said call whenever and they'll do a non stress test if I"m worried ( that test checks baby's heartbeat over a period of time essentially) but then today of course since my child is a brat and probably knew I was going to ask about movements she went crazy all during the appt. and was moving all over etc....so it would have been stupid to do one at that time b/c obviously she was in no distress if she can throw a party! So yeah, they said keep watching....if there is a hour or so when i feel absolutely zero movement then they might recommend i come in....otherwise they were willing to do a nonstress test whenever i was nervous....but I"m to the point now where I think that is just her thing...she moves when she wants to!!

Oh, and i believe I gained a bunch of weight these last two weeks! Last appt. i had only gained 1/2 a pound and this appt. they didn't mention my weight and i forgot to ask, but I"m pretty sure when the nurse weighed me it looked like i had maybe gained like 6 pounds in the last two weeks  :-O  Oh well, they must not be concerned b/c they didn't say anything!!!! It'd still be in the average range overall for total weight gain this far along....baby must have been hungry lately!

Only my 36 week appt. to go and then i start having weekly appts. until baby arrives!
