| 24-4-2009 - 37 weeks - I'm having my baby next week! |
My mood while writing this blog: Excited |
So as I mentioned in my last blog I had a scan booked for today - this wasn't for any medical reason just as a kind gesture. So I went in and they confirmed the baby is head down engaged and ready to go. The woman starts taking the measurements to estimate his weight. They start whispering to themselves and it really worried me I was like is everything ok and she was said do you have a family history of diabetes I said no why??? Well it turns out a have a HUGE baby. He is currently weighing in at 8lbs 13oz at 36 weeks 6 days can you believe it? They said that there is no way they are going to let me go full term especially with me being so small so I have been booked in for an urgent appointment with the consultant and he will decide if I will either be induced next week or have a c-section! I'm still in shock I can't believe he will be here soon yippee! I'm hoping he will say c-esction because I don't think my little pelvis will be able to deliver a baby of that size. No wonder his movements are so strong and painful and no wonder I have a huge bump it all makes sense now lol. He looked so cramped in there bless him it took her ages to find his leg lol he was all squished! I can't believe I have made a big baby lol everyone will be suprised. I had my glucose test a couple of weeks ago so it can't be that and I haven't got my dates wrong. Why is my baby measuring 40-41wks at 37 weeks how odd. I just hope everything is ok! I can't wait to have him now I feel so big and heavy it's really uncomfortable. My vajayjay hurts so bad with all the pressure I can't take it anymore. Thanks for taking an interest I will update you after I see the consultant and upload a 37 week belly pic tomorrow. I love you all! xx

Friday, 20 Jan isn't it funny how in this blog you wanted a c section and now that you've had two you're doing everything you can to avoid it?!!?!?! ~mama J~ -
Saturday, 2 May Dont worry about the dates or measurments. It duznt always mean your dates are off. sometimes it just means you have a big baby. I was measuring 42.5cm at my 38week appt and ended up delivereing at 38weeks and 4days. My son was 9lbs 12oz. I never expected him to be that big but he just grew like crazy right at the end. And there was absolutly no possibility of my dates being off.. it was impossible. I also delivered naturally. Well good luck girly and i cant wait to see pics. Congrats!! Lorijs1 -
