We had our 37 week check up Tuesday morning and all looks well! Dr said to take it easy this weekend just to get a little further along, but we are now officially full term so baby could arrive anytime. I'm not expecting him/her to come this early as Lauren and Colton were born at 9 and 10 days early, but not a bad idea to take it easy as a precautionary measure.
37 weeks with Lauren, Colton and Baby Williams
Stats
How Far Along: 37 weeks
How Far Along: 37 weeks
Dilation: 1 cm
Effacement: 50% (last week I was at 0)
Baby's station: Still high but lower than last last week. Dr said -3 station and baby is head down
Size of baby: Watermelon (19 to 22 inches long and about 6.5 lbs)
Baby's Heart Rate: 152
Measurement: 36 cm
Blood Pressure: 102/70 (mine is always low)
Weight Gain: 0 pounds so a total of 21 pounds so far
Maternity Clothes: Um Yes!
Gender: It's a Surprise!
Movement: Poor guy or girl is running out of room! Sometimes I bend over and think I hurt him/her because it hurt some organ on MY inside!
Sleep: Not great as I wake up often to either go to the bathroom or change positions because of my hips/acid reflux/heart burn but I would still consider this normal for someone at the stage I'm at. My internal alarm clock wakes me up at about 5:30 or 5:45 each morning.
Symptoms: Acid Reflux and heart burn are still lingering and I'm still feeling some light cramps every once in a while. The baby is also hitting some nerve in my legs every once in a while because this stops me in my tracks at times and feels like I'm getting a charlie horse down the inside of my thighs.
What I miss: Being able to bend over or stand up normally...but this too shall pass!
Cravings: This last week it's been ice cream!
Best Moment this week: Watching my belly just roll around and hearing my baby's heart beat!
What I am looking forward to: Seeing my baby for the first time!
