36/37 Week Dr. Appt!!
Posted: 01-07-08 18:20pm

Soooo....I'm really 36 weeks, but I make 37 weeks tomorrow and my Dr. always says I'm there for the ladder. Being that my uterus is measuring on the large side of 37cm.

Anyways...

I stepped on the scale, and LOST 3 1/2lbs!!!!!!! I'm down to 24 1/2lbs!!!!!

I was SHOCKED that I could lose that much weight within just a WEEK!! But hell, I was NOT complaining!!

So, he ckecked me, and I'm STILL a fingertip. And he said "yea, she'll be on time...I doubt HIGHLY she'll come at 37 weeks."

That was music to my ears!!! I want her in there for as LONG as possible!! I'm in NO rush to meet her, at ALL!! She needs to bake for as long as she wants!!

yes

Girl, he won't even let me look at his penis!!! He says "I'm NOT having sex with you!!! We're NOT ready for the baby, and she's NOT ready for us!!! DO you WANT to have this baby at 37 weeks like Oni??!"

I tried to talk him into it when I got home from my appt. I thought maybe he'd give in being that I haven't changed! But he refuses!!

His loss! LOL!

The ONLY reason I didn't gain more is because I learned my lesson with my daughter!

I gained 60lbs and only made it to 37 weeks. Imagine if I had gone to my due date!!!! Shocked I would have gained prob about 70/75!!!

My Dr wasn't concerned though...he TRIED to warn me!! lol!! But I wouldn't listen!!

With Oni, on average I gained no *less* than 12lbs per month!

So don't feel bad, I'm sure all is well!!

You look great! Good job on only gaining 24 lbs. I lost 1 lb, so hopefully I don't gain much.
I can't wait to see her and hear the name.

That's great about the weight loss! I wish I could do that but all I do is retain fluid. Oh well. I'm glad everything's seems to be going so well though.

I didn't retain any fluid for Oni, so I'm not sure if I will for this one!

BUT, I also never made it past this week, soooo, that could allll change!!!!!

I hope I don't lose anymore weight though, I'll start to worry if I do!!

Don't worry about weight loss. It is COMMON to lose weight in the last month of pregnancy (I'm amazed your doctor didn't say that. What is with doctors anyway? Sheesh!) due to not having as much room in your stomach therefore not eating as much or as often because of wiggly baby. Your 3.5 lbs was more than likely water weight - because it came off in a week's time. Water weight can fluctuate depending on the salty things you eat and the amount of fluid you are retaining/not retaining.

I lost 5lbs my last 2 weeks and my doctor said it is 100% completely NORMAL. Relax Wink And go have sex! LOL!

Thanks Ingi!!!!

He did say it was completely normal, so did the nurse. I'm just soooo not used to losing any kinda weight during pregnancy!!

I have noticed that I'm not hungry, really, at all!! And I blame baby in the belly for that one! LOL!

It just makes me worry because I 'assumed' the scale would calculate the baby's weight gain. It just makes me worry that she's not gaining any weight!

You'd think this was my first kid with the way I worry about certain things!! LOL!

I'm sure it was water too!! There's no WAY I could lose fat within 7 days...I don't think!!

It's crazy that I have people telling me that I don't look like I'm due in 3 weeks, that I'm too small. But then there are other people who are like "DAMN!! You're about to POP!!" It's sooooo nerve wracking!! LOL
