This Week's Doctor's Appointments

Happy Valentine's Day!!! Just wanted to give a little update on the pregnancy. I hope to have a new photo of my belly on Monday when I turn 30 weeks.

I had a regular doctor's appointment on Tuesday. It was uneventful except for the fact that when they measured me, I was measuring 3 weeks head of where I should be. So instead of 29 weeks, I was measuring as if I'm 32 weeks. The doc scheduled an ultrasound for my next appointment on March 3rd to see what's going on. It could be several things: Connor's position when she measured, Connor's a big baby, a lot of amniotic fluid, a wrong due date....or a SLIGHT chance of a hiding twin!!! (I don't think it's twins)

Yesterday, I was going about my normal business. I went grocery shopping and while shopping I started getting horrible pulling pains in my low abdomen down into my legs. I left the store and called my doctor from the parking lot. They told me to come in to get checked out.

When I got there, they put me on monitors and Connor was doing his usual thing...kicking and squirming like crazy! His heart rate was in the 150s and all was well. They didn't really have an explanation for the pains. They said the "stretching pains" should be over with unless he's a big baby. The doctor then examined me and said my cervix felt soft. It shouldn't be at this point if I am only 29 weeks. SOOO....she cancelled my March 3rd ultrasound and bumped it up to tomorrow. She also re-measured me and this time I was measuring at 2 and 1/2 weeks ahead of where I should be.

So tomorrow we go at 8am for the ultrasound and hopefully we will figure out what is going on!
