The 34th Week
I am finally into the real “safe zone!” Of course babies can be born before 34 weeks… but the chances of complications is much higher before now. I am so grateful to have made it this far.
I will be honest though im not sure how much longer I will last.
Baby has dropped this past week… I even got many comments this past Sunday at church from ladies who noticed it as well.
Last week I could sit up in bed indian style with no problem… This week I cant! When I sit that way it seriously feels like I am squishing the baby… He is so incredibly low.
Baby is HEAD DOWN. Hes been this way since early on. My midwife said all looks well and im measuring perfectly.
I meant to give a weight update last week but forgot.
I am now at 133 lbs.
Thats a total weight gain of 18 lbs since getting pregnant.
So I am right on track.
With my boys I put on around 25lbs by 38 weeks (which is when I had both of them).
If my body continues the tradition :) that means I only have 4 weeks left… although Im skeptical ill make that mark this time.
Contractions? Many … Not those tiny braxton hicks either… these are real deal contractions that catch your breath. I counted many yesterday… but nothing TO consistent so I wasnt to concerned.
All in all I feel well.
Sleeping is still a challenge… but thats expected at this point :)
I go to the Dr. next week for another check up… then after that I go once every week until the birth.
Oh and to those curious… baby is around 18 inches long and around 5lbs or so (According to baby center.com)
