My doctors appointment yesterday has made my anxiety so much worse. I'm 34 weeks so they scheduled what was supposed to be my last ultra sound and they found out I have an abnormally big child for the amount of weeks I am, he weighs almost 7 pounds already so they have to closely monitor his weight. I have another ultrasound at 36 weeks and then another at 38 weeks. Let's hope he doesn't gain too much weight so that I dont have to have a c section :/
Have faith in your body woman have been having babies for all of time but if it comes down that you need to have a csection its best for you and LO and as long as our babies come into this world safe and healthy I know we will be happy but I'll be sending good vibes your way ☺️
Oh okay yeah that makes sense, I just have other health problems too so my doctors worried that my body won't be able to handle giving birth vaginally to a big baby. I also only weighed 115 before I got pregnant so I'm pretty petite
Don't stress I'm 35 weeks just went for a growth sono yesterday baby boy is 7pbs and measuring larger than over 90% of other babies some of us just have big babies also my doctor said they won't schedule a csection until he reaches 4500 grams which is 9.92lbs so don't worry I'm just telling myself maybe because he's bigger he's preparing to come out a little sooner than expected I have another growth sono in three weeks so I'm in the same boat as you girl
Just make sure that you mention your concerns to her about being caught off guard with labor. She's there to help make sure you're ready. And you're very welcome :)
@lostinct82mj, Yeah she told me she would do a pelvic exam at 36 weeks! Thank ya for talking to me about it tho, makes me feel a little better :)
Maybe have your doctor start checking your cervix to see how you're coming along? I think that's the best bet to make sure there isn't any surprise baby. :) best wishes honey.
@lostinct82mj Im trying not to stress it's just hard, and I go every two weeks
It's ok to be nervous :) just remember that too much stress is not good for you right now. Are you doing weekly visits?
Yeah my doctor said it was a possibility that my due date is off I'm just nervous because I go to school so I don't want to go into labor randomly when I'm there haha
Your dates might just be off and you may be further along. My son was born at 35 weeks at 7 lbs 4 oz. All they could come up with is that he was further along than they thought. :) don't fret just yet Mama. Xox
Weight Gain
What week are you and how much weight have you gained so far?
Ok so not using actual numbers.. But everyone knows I'm over weight since having my girls. It's no secret. BUT i was talking with my hubby last night and idk how we got to this but he said something like (not using actual numbers) no one should weigh 800lbs, they should take care of themselves. And i said so what if someone weighs 800lbs? He said no one should weigh that, they should be healthier. I said well i almost weigh 800! I'm in the 790s. And I'm healthy. I may be overweight but i don't h...
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
My doctor said he would induce my labor at 38 weeks, if my baby girl still had growth issues and if the percentile dropped to 10 or less. Last thursday, it was 10 percentile, and he said if she didn't come on her own by 38 weeks, he would induce labor at that time. I'm 36 weeks 1 day today, he said my cervix was super thin, and 1cm dilated. Is there a possibility this can change... that my doctor will let her just come on her own? I don't want to be induced, i would much rather her come on her ...

This is my son Walter. Today is his birthday. He would have been five. This picture was taken when he was 16 days old. He was my first child and my only son (I now have 3 girls). He passed away the next day after this picture from congenital heart failure. It was a miracle that he lived passed 12 weeks gestation because of how severe his heart defects were. I miss him so much, I can't believe it's been 5 years. It still hurts so bad. I don't talk about him a lot out loud because I end up bawling...
Yeah you're right, Thank you! @gabesmommy
