Baby is good, growing like a weed....I honestly dont know where else he's gonna go! I'm pretty uncomfortable now, and sleeping is a challenge. My pelvis hurts so much, some days I can barely walk. And if anyone told you Braxton Hicks dont hurt (or are atleast uncomfortable) they lied. But you know what, I STILL love it. I really think I will be sad when I dont feel him anymore, or see him move.
I saw the OB on Monday and told her about all the cramping I have had. She checked my cervix and found a few things....1: It is shortening. There is still length, but nothing like 3 weeks ago, so thats a concern. 2: The baby's head is as low as its going. She actually had to move his head to find the opening of my cervix, which I will add, is still closed.
So from this she told me that I am on 'modified bedrest' because I need to atleast try to keep beaner in there for another 5 weeks (that would put me at 37). And she thinks my labour is going to go fast. Which honestly didn't sound to bad.....But if it starts early, they might not be able to stop it.
So, I go back in 2 weeks (well really 1 now) and they are checking again. From there we might get another ultrasound and see if I should be getting some steroid shots, to help baby.
Aside from all that stuff, he is doing amazing still. HB great! And my BP is still perfect. Also little beaner is still measuring 2 weeks ahead. So I hope thats a good thing if he decides to come a little early!
I'm 32 weeks 5 days, with possibly only 5 weeks to go! I cant wait to see my little guy!!
*side note: If your dr ever wants to move your baby's head, I will tell you right now, IT HURTS!!! And I was bleeding for about 2-3 days after......Just in case anyone was wondering :)

Oh CJ I'm getting so excited for you and I hope your Dr is right and you have a quick labour. With your little man's head being low I'm sure you will. Have you been spending time sitting in the nursery? That was my favourite thing to do while I waited those last few weeks. Good luck and hope you make it to 37 weeks :)
Oh I am so excited! I do sit in the nursery, and even worse, I get up in the middle of the night for my bathroom break, and sneek in there :)I am so excited about everything, even our pre-natal classes which start in less then 2 weeks!
The only thing that worries me is that I learn new stuff every day, and I'm woried about how much I dont know. Does that make sense?
Totally makes sense but you will be fine... it's true what they say about mommy instinct. Have fun in your classes but don't get too hung up on a birth plan, you never know what will happen and it's good to be flexible sometimes your little one has his own ideas of how he's going to come into the world.
