28 week CNM update (prg ment)

[Guest guest]

Hi Ladies,

Well, I had my CNM appt this morning. Had to do the 1 hour

glucose test. My gosh--can orange flavored " soda " taste ANY

worse??? Also had blood drawn for anemia test. She checked

my cervix (long, closed, posterior), and the baby's heartrate

(140s again). I've gained 4 lbs. this month, for a total of around

22, and blood pressure is totally normal. My uterus is growing

fine in my belly. Oh yeah, and baby is head down. She did say

though that it doesn't matter till 34 weeks. They still move a lot till

then. Well, *I* say let him get used to head down for as long as

possible!

I have my birth center orientation in two weeks. There we will

meet all the midwives, and see the 3 birthing rooms, and ask all

our questions about logistics.

From now on, I go every 2 weeks. Then, at 36 weeks, I go every

week. I hope this kid comes early, cuz going to the CNM every

week could get old.

Thanks for listening,

Jill

Jill, great update. Keep 'em coming!

When I took my glucose test, I took a look at the ingredients on the

bottle of orange " soda " - more like orange dye # this and that and

sugar and other *crap*. I then wished I hadn't looked - surely they

could come up with something a little more healthy for that test!

Good kid for staying head down!

It's amazing to me that we have come this far. Are you still

working/studying? I will be finished work March 28th - I will be 37

weeks - I can't WAIT!

Thanks again for the update,
