Doctor Check-up appt: 38 weeks

Just got back from the docs appt. Not much new. The doc said "see you next week"
  • Dialated 2cm, 30% effaced
  • Belly is measuring up at 37 weeks. I asked her how big she thought the baby was and she estimated about 6 - 6.5 lbs
  • My blood sugars have been wacked in the past 48 hours - so I'm making a phone call to the dietician again to get some pointers. My latest craving has been Apple Cider which I can't have right now. So, who wants dibbs on bringing me an apple cider in the hospital? Ha! No whip, no cream please
  • I weighed the same - so, still a total weight gain of about 22 lbs. Doc said that's just fine. I may not gain any more weight at all
  • Docs are still set on a due date of Dec 2nd. She says - "we could be talking about induction dates around Dec 5th or you could go on your own! It's all up to little baby at this point"
  • I'm noticing that now that I'm massively pregnant, people make funny comments. The best comment yet today was in the elevator at the doctors office from at 70+ year old with his wife: "Wow, looks like you're not sleeping alone!"
  • Almost forgot - a FAST baby heart beat again at almost 160bpm

I'm thinking about doing lunges in the hall here at work during lunch time today. Think that will help get the ball rollin'?
