Update

Im 38 wks +2 and apparently everything Ive been going through is normal. My Dr didnt even sound too concerned except for my just having ice. They want me to try gatorade since my appetite is down. Ive also dropped 5lbs since the last visit. The Dr wasnt even clear on whether or not returning to work was a good idea - said it was up to the boss and me. If I felt up to it, go ahead; if not then dont. So that kinda irritated me because Im more stubborn than a mule... I mean, Ive gone to work with pneumonia before...

On the upside Ive finally dilated to 1cm!

After Friday's episode my appetite has been way off. So I havent been eating much, just chewing on ice. So thats why my weight dropped. My Dr said baby had a good heartbeat and reminded me that with how hes growing that he doesnt have much room there so his movements wont be the familiar kicks and punches... more like rolling and stuff. I got paranoid about his movement today so they settled that for me.

I've lost 4lbs & my appetite has decreased too. I'm going back to the dr tomorrow for another u/s to make sure that he is growing & has enough fluid.  Hopefully I haven't lost anymore weight.
