32 Week Appointment With 4d Pics! Posted: 12-13-07 15:20pm


I went for my 32 week appointment and had my 4D ultrasound as well. I didn't gain anything this time which I am very proud about after last time, especially since I'm on modified bed rest. He said that I can wean myself down on the procardia since my contractions are getting better but if they get worse again to up my doseage to what it was. He didn't want to check me this time though because he didn't want to stir things up down there especially since I'm already dilated some. He probably will next time though. I am no longer classified as on any kind of bedrest but he said I should take it easy but that I can go out and do some things as long as I don't overdo it. If the contractions start up again though then it's back to bed. Now for the ultrasound. It went wonderfully. I told Sara last week that she had a big one on her hands because hers weighed 4 lbs 8 oz at 33 weeks. Well, my little chunker weighs 4 lbs 11 oz at 32 weeks. If I were to go the full 40 weeks and she only gained a half pound a week like they are supposed to that puts us at having almost a 9 lb baby. That's quite scary to think about for my who-ha. So I guess you all want some pics now. Be prepared for these chubby cheeks. Oh yeah, she's definitely all girl. The doc said he would put money on it. This is where we know she's all girl! Well, that's how it all went. He said she looks wonderful and that everything seems fine. He thinks the contractions are due to a highly sensitive uterus and over exertion on my part. My mom had the same problems when she got too tired or did just a little bit much. My body doesn't take well to pregnancy. It just makes me feel horrid. Well, thanks in advance for any comments!

No, this was my current dr. I wanted to go see him first and see if maybe we would be okay sticking with him. Brandon helped me work through most of the issues and Dr. Cimino gave me explanations for everything that he did. I just don't like not being in control. I know I'm a needy patient but I pay the guy. Even though I was so mad a few days ago, he made me feel so at ease with everything today. He took his time doing the ultrasound, answered all our questions and told us if anything changed to call him back. I think I'm feeling better about staying with him for the moment. He's been my doctor for four years so I didn't want to jump the gun and wanted to talk to him directly. That was one fo the main things that bothered me. I never got to talk to him until today.

He's definitely excited. He was such a proud daddy today. We went to Babies r Us and he picked out so many things for her today. Too bad we didn't have money in our accout though. We had just deposited his check and it won't show up until tomorrow.

So cute!! not to scare you, but that umbilical cord looks like it's wrapped around her neck, doc say anything about that? Good to hear the contractions are easing up. DON"T OVER DO IT! don't want those stupid things starting up again, thank goodness he didn't check you, he has good logic. Good Luck!!

He checked that out and looked for the blood flow. It's not around her neck. It was floating in front of her face.

That would be cool if they were born the same day! I'm kinda freaked out about possibly having a baby that big though.

Awww she is so cute and she does have chubby cheeks lol. Smile

My daughter has chubby cheeks and a big forhead like her dad in her 4d pictures, I wish I could post them. Sad

Only 2 weeks to go for me!

ok, that's good. This is why I'm not a doctor lol. I guess it does all depend on the blood flow, that's why if it's compressed, baby is in distress. Good Luck!

Also, her hand is in front of her face. The cord and the hand were kinda blending together.

in my u/s, the cord is draped around her neck. It's not tied or cris-crossed, it's just draped. But about 90% of babies are born with the cord wrapped at least once. It's nothing to worry about though. I'm sure it'll fall. Sarah

interesting... WARNING: Horror birth story my friend eventually had to have a c-section because the cord was wrapped once, and was too short, so they couldn't get the baby out naturally because it was acting like a bungee cord... baby would get so far out, then go back in. She did that 3 times before they decided to go for the c-section... I just hope my baby's cord is fine, I'm going in for my first u/s on the 3rd. I'll be 25wk 3d according to my last period. Hopefully they will give me a new due date cause I told them the wrong date so blah blah blah... I'm done... lol
