35-week OB Update (pg ment)

November 21, 2002

Hiya,

Well, tomorrow marks 36 weeks and all is well. The visit was short and

*very* sweet. I've had a some stronger contractions lately and feel a

little increased pressure in the pelvis.

I've felt that the baby has flipped between transverse and vertex a couple

of times--today he was vertex, with legs off to the right. Seems as though

when he is vertex I feel the hiccoughs behind the pubic bone, and when

transverse I feel them around my belly button. The OB thinks that my

septum/shelf must really be squashed by now, since the baby does not seem to

be trapped in one position.

The OB said, " For all the worrying we've done about this baby, I think he

may go overdue, " to which I responded " The hell you say! " I go one more

time for an OB check-up after Thanksgiving and then in on Dec. 2 for an

amniocentesis and a c-section at 10:00 a.m. on December 3rd. We settled on

that day because it is the rollover date to 35 weeks (37 LMP) from the IUI.

Anyhow, it's good to have a date for the birth. We are so hot to meet this

young man.
