OB appointment update

[Victoria01]

I had an appointment yesterday at 31w5d. Everything looks good, heart rate was 158 bpm and my little man is moving a LOT. :) I am measuring (by exam not u/s) at 33 weeks, but I have measured 1.5 weeks ahead for awhile now. OB scheduled a presentation scan for February 25th since he is still transverse and she wants a better look at his position. I also have the other ultrasound on March 1st, so I get to see my little boy at least two more times before delivery. :) Blood pressure was 102/88 and I gained 1.5 pounds since my last visit, putting me up to a total of 11.5 pounds. My 1 hour glucose test came back normal, so I don't have to go for the 3 hour one. My next appointment isn't until the 25th (when they do the presentation scan) because OB wanted to do both at the same time. So, I have about 3 weeks :( but all is well, and that's what matters.

Not many new symptoms for me, back pain, leg cramps, BH, a little nausea, pelvic pain getting worse, and fatigue is back.

OOOh!

I'm so happy to hear that someone else is measuring big too..  my last appointment was at 28 weeks and I measured 31.  Everyone that asks when I'm due gives me an astonished face when I say "the end of April"... :/  I'm carrying pretty far out there.. but at least it's all belly!

Tons of movement too.. maybe that's what's helping us stretch out for these linebackers.. hehe..

Are you growing in spurts or fairly evenly?  I'm getting spurts every couple of days where it feels like my stomach muscles are ripping.. painful, I know.. but they're also coming on days where I work long shifts too.. so maybe the added activity (I work on my feet) rushes growth along.

The measuring is from the pubic bone to the top of the uterus. It's supposed to be one centimeter for each week you are, though my ultrasounds also measure the baby bigger than how far along I am.

You've only gained 11 lbs! Your so lucky! Your gonna have such an easy time dropping what little weight you have after the baby comes. When you say measuring weeks ahead do you mean the size of your belly..like from your crotch area up to your rib cage? Or what do you mean? I have an apt on tuesday and im wondering how I'll measure..at 24Wks i measured 24 then at 28 wks i measured 26 so i wonder if I'll be small still.
