36+2 OB appointment

So I have just gotten back from my 36 week OB appointment and everything is great! I went through the pain I have been feeling Dr A said it sounds more like BH and they can be isolated to one side but my whole belly is hard as a rock when I get it so its more than likely I am only getting the pain on one side but the BH is affecting the whole belly.

I mentioned about the pink fluid I had seen, he said it could be a very slow leak which isn't something he is concerned about especially at this stage, but he did say eventually it will turn into a trickle again not something he is bothered about now that I am so far along.  Just  if and when the trickle starts I will need to contact the hospital.

I mentioned that I thought bubba had dropped a little bit so he felt down near where the head is and he said he can only fit 2 fingers between bubba's head and my pubic bone so 3/5 engaged! YAY for a first timer and only 36weeks that't fantastic news!

He did a scan, peanut is measuring around 6.9lb but he still thinks we will only get to about 7.5-7.8lb or so which isn't too bad.  Its head is 31cm (11cm diameter)!! OMG lol but I mentioned that I had reached 9cm on the epi-no and he said that's fantastic and getting it to that point should mean I wont tear and hopefully make delivery a bit quicker as sometimes the baby's head gets stalled at the perineum on the way out and can sit there for 30mins or more!

I also explained that I was a little worried that my tummy hasn't gotten any bigger since about 32weeks.  He said it just happens to some women and bub just grows length ways instead of out. I have a very compact tummy well I think so, so yeah kinda does seem that way I have thought that throughout the whole pregnancy due to my long torso.

Also told him about my still birth fears, he said that's completely normal and that so many women have those dreams around now.

GBS swab done, just have to wait for results now. Fingers crossed I don't have it because me and penicillin don't like each other.  I don't go into anaphylaxis but I get the worst vomiting and diarrhea from it! YUK!

That was about it really, milk and now pineapple are my craving right now.  I can't get enough of either!

26days to go!
