38+ weeks ob/gyn appointment
Well, I guess no news is good news, lol ;-)
Blood pressure = 120/60 Urine = leucocytes were positive on the urinanalysis stick, so I had the full urine analysis done - everything fine; ob/gyn said it is common for leucocytes to show up slightly above the normal level at the end of the pregnancy so not to worry but to just add more fluid to my daily intake (and I already drank half of the recommended daily intake of 3 litres of fluid today!); Weight: 2 lbs in the last week - I had no weight gain in the last 2 weeks, which puts me at 2 lbs in 3 weeks altogether, and at 33 lbs altogether. Ob/gyn made no comment, probably because of the swelling. Swelling: yes - fingers slightly, feet and legs felt a bit heavy yesterday; again, she is not worried - there was no protein in the urine and the bp is fine. Fundal height: rib cage - she said in her practice the first child drops a little late - but as I have 11 days to go until the EDD, it's nothing to worry about. Cervix: effaced 25% (it's been this way since September 4th), no dilation; she mentioned (as a pre-warning) I might go past my due date since cervix is still fully closed, but that plenty of first-time moms go past their due date and not to be worried - on the other hand, she said, I might start dilating tomorrow, and that's normal too. I'm just at that -2 weeks/+2 weeks stage where you never know, I guess ;-) Baby's head is down, and on its way to be engaged (basically the internal exam's results were the same as at my last appointment a week ago). CTG: baby's heart rate normal, no contractions. Next ob/gyn appointment: October 2nd. Otherwise, I'm fine. Things are still going smoothly. Tonight I'm planning on more baby names vetoing, we have some guests over the weekend, and I feel calm and relaxed. Happy pregnancy/parenting everyone, Elly 38 weeks + 4 days EDD October 6th |

Weird. We never did any further analysis though, because I had no other symptoms of infection (though I know you can have "silent" ones) and it seems to just be how my body was doing things! Weight: 2 lbs in the last week - I had no weight gain in the last 2 weeks, which puts me at 2 lbs in 3 weeks altogether, and at 33 lbs altogether. Ob/gyn made no comment, probably because of the swelling.

Fundal height: rib cage - she said in her practice the first child drops a little late - but as I have 11 days to go until the EDD, it's nothing to worry about. I never noticed any dramatic drop of the baby and the doctor never said anything to me about his dropping or not--so, I'm not sure when he did! Cervix: effaced 25% (it's been this way since September 4th), no dilation; she mentioned (as a pre-warning) I might go past my due date since cervix is still fully closed, but that plenty of first-time moms go past their due date and not to be worried - on the other hand, she said, I might start dilating tomorrow, and that's normal too.

Tonight I'm planning on more baby names vetoing, we have some guests over the weekend, and I feel calm and relaxed. Sounds like things are going great (even though no new developments really)! How is the name veto process coming? It is getting really close to the big day! -- Em mama to Lann, 9/21/03 |
