33 week appointment
I had an ultrasound and OB appointment today to check the growth of Baby B. The doctors said everything looks great and she is right on track. She weighed 4 pounds, 8 ounces. They say that for the next four weeks, she should gain about 1/2 a pound per week and then their weight gain will slow down. She was moving around a lot and the ultrasound tech said "Can you feel her feet in your ribs?" I have been feeling her in my ribs quite often actually. The really good news is that my placenta has moved away from the cervix since my belly has continued to grow meaning I should be able to have a natural delivery. My doctor said that at 36 weeks, I will come off the medication I am on that currently helps stop contracions. She made it sound like nothing will happen when I come off the medication. I now have to go back to the doctor twice a week. They will do a stress test each time I go in to make sure Baby B is under no stress and a ultrasound once a week to measure the fluids around her to make sure they stay the same. I am still on bed rest for the rest of the pregnancy it sounds like. I can atleast move around the house, shower and go to the bathroom, I am just not suppose to go shopping, walking, etc. I am so relieved that I got a good report and now just getting anxious for her arrival. The countdown has begun!!
