30 week Checkup

[Guest guest]

Hi ladies! Sorry I have not been on in awhile, I have not been

feeling well.

I had my 30 week checkup today and everything was fine. I gained

another pound (+6 total) and my bp was up a little more than usual.

The doc measured me and said I was 32, not sure what that means, but

that the baby was on target. Dh asked how big he thought that the

baby would be when born, he said 7.5 - 8 lbs, but he can't tell how

big he is now.

My 3 hr glucose test came back perfect, so I don't need to worry

about gestational diabetes - thank you for all your prayers and

positive thoughts while waiting for results.

My little guy turned head down into position last week, and since

then, I have not been feeling well. He is lying on my lungs or

something - or everything!!! What a feeling. I feel like I can not

breathe and I am getting little kicks in my ribs, high up right under

my breasts! Also it seems like this weekend, I just feel apart. I had

the braxton hicks contractions, a backache, out of breathe and my

hear was just beating away rapidly, like I could not get enough air!

I was glad I had a doc appt today, but all he said was you are pg,

and baby is in position, so he is pressing on everything - very

reassuring. I am short, and so is my torso, so I think that has a

lot to do with it.

I took off yesterday and relaxed at home, so today I am doing better.

I wish I did not have to go back to work, somehow 9 more weeks of

working seems like an eternity!

Sorry to be long - I can't seem to keep it short!! I am glad to be

back, and have caught up on all the many messages!!

Take Care,

Kim R.
