24-6-2009 - 35 week dr appointment

My mood while writing this blog: hot

---

Well first I had my ultrasound. I had the same tech as last time and she did 3d for me again. Well baby is 6lbs 5oz right now, her head is very low. The tech says it's still a girl and showed me her parts and her butt cheeks. She also said she has long legs. Well afterwards I went to meet one of the midwives and we discussed the birth plan and she actually encouraged me to help get labor started next week. She gave me a paper on the primrose oil and told me to have lots of sex!! So maybe I will get to meet my baby girl in 2 weeks. So all in all it was a good appointment but I was there from 1:30 until 4:00. It was very hot here today and tomorrow is supposed to be hottter so I am going to try and go swimming at our local pool. I am getting very anxious now.

hehe, I did the primrose oil orally and vaginally. Orally from 36 wks, then an extra dose starting at 38 wks. Started vaginally every other day at 37, then daily at 38. Went to twice daily at 40 wks. A good read: my blog on induction methods that don't work... All in due time, my dear ;0)

Yeah primrose can be taken from 34 or 36 weeks orally ( i can't remember what i read now or was told_).. but you shouldn't stick it up there until 38 weeks and you can take a higher dose at that point ( like one extra a day).. So it's normal. It just helps soften your cervix slowly.
Many women when they have their first babies go late so she's probably trying to encourage baby to come on time and your body to start prep ( also makes labour more pleasent when you have a slow progression). I went swimming my last 2 weeks of pregnancy.. It was nice.. I even stuck on of those belts that help you float.. Oh it was wonderful!.. floating around feeling boyant. Just watch out when you get out of the pool.. You kinda feel like a sumo wrestler walking about.

Almost done!! enjoy your last few weeks of those kicks.. I think thats what i miss most ( not that i miss pregnancy at all) and i find myself rubbing my belly still which is kinda weird..lol.. since there's no baby in there anymore
