Had a Us Today
Posted: 11-23-07 18:43pm

So i had a US today. My fiances mom wanted one more shot before she's born to see if we could see her face. She weighs 5 pounds, and 7 oz. I thought she would be more than that. Is she small for me being 36 weeks on sunday? And the tech said that she's VERY low. They almost had to put the US thingy on my crotch lol to see her head. Does that mean she's working her way down? I'm really excited though. We did get a face shot, and she has my lips, and chin! lol It just made me SOOO much more anxtious (sp). Oh and they said that i have low fluid. It's at a 10. Is that bad? Not really sure on that department. Just thought i would share! Very
Happy

yayshes low! just like kristen! that means shes putting lots of pressure on your cervix which could cause you to dialte! i bet youll go in at 37 weeks just like you did with your first!!!!!!!

i think thats appropriate weight
kristen was measuring exactly 6 pounds at 36 weeks 5 days

Yeah i have a feeling i'm going to go sometime around 37 weeks. They way i've been feeling i don't look at going till christmas. I hope someone knows about the fulid part. Kinda makes me nervous. The office was closed today so i didn't get to ask anyone. I hope i'm not leaking it. My undies are always wet. So i don't know. I'm trying to find something on it now.

i know that if you are leaking fluid or you think you might that you can go to the hospital and check I did that with my first i was not sure if it was that or something else and sure enough my bag of water was leaking and i was put in the hospital and they started me on PIT and suff and then broke my water the rest of the way. and i had my son a few hours later I would call the hopsital and see what they say hun. Better to be safe than sorry. Let us know. I know they just used some kind of paper thing to check with me and it turned a color that says its amnio leaking.

this is going to sound gross, but if you think you're leaking fluid smell your underwear. amniotic fluid has a very distinct sickeningly sweet smell, you'll smell it if that's what it is.

When I was 40 weeks I went in for a nonstress test and they took an ultrasound and saw that my water was really low and they made me stay and be induced within an hour!

I had thought I could be leaking water but never said anything about it because I just thought it was a lot of discharge..but I wish I would have said something! It can be dangerous for the baby! You should definately go in and get it checked out!
