We had an ultrasound with Dr DeStefano this morning. She was very pleased with the way everything looks in there. There is still no active bleeding on the placenta. The baby is still growing well. He is about 5lb1oz which places him slightly above average about 60th percentile. His head and belly are big for his age but he may have short little legs.
She told me that I can go back to normal activites but just be aware of what my body tells me. I will see her again in 3 weeks. She does still want Dr Meritt to induce labor at 38-39 weeks. She doesn't want to take a chance of my going in to labor at home and the placenta separating more. I am completely fine with that since A.) I'm sick of being pregnant and B.) I'm terrified of a delivery similar to Luc's.
Luc got to go today and see pictures of his baby brother on the TV. He was excited to see his eyes and nose. He told the nurse that the baby's name is "GA GA". He has been talking baby talk a lot lately. We didn't get any pictures this time. The baby had both arms across his face. He would peek out every now and then but never for long enough to take a good picture.
We confirmed that the pain in my left side is from him constantly punching me in the same spot. She scanned near that spot and there was his fist, ready to take a swing.
Those guys give their moms grief even in the womb! So glad you got a good report =)
ReplyDeleteI am so glad I'm not the only one who is tired of being pregnant. And it is good to know they can prove the baby can cause pain from repeated movements, I swear this one is trying to break a rib.
