My 37 Week Docs Appt!
Posted: 07-01-04 11:05am

Well everyone I just got back from the docs and I think its pretty nuetral news, mostly all good* one grrrrreat thing is I talked to my doc about when they induce. He said he doesn’t let u go past your due date, if any then only by 3 days. So he said most likely if I didn’t go on my own already he would induce on my due date (7-22) or by 7-25! Yay! I was so worried that I would go late and be stuck like a week or 2 after my due date. What else.. I didn’t gain any weight again this time. He didn’t sound overly worried but he said he wants me to make sure im eating enough because if I don’t gain any, he said that means I at least lose a half lb myself because the baby is still gaining. So im going to try to increase the cals a little. Even tho I know im eatin enough! I am 37 weeks today but I once again measure a little small, 35 weeks. He said he still thinks I am 37 weeks tho but just thinks my baby is on the smaller side is all. His guess is that my baby will be between 6lbs 8 oz , and he said possibly 7lbs 2oz. Good, I didn’t wanna have a huge one lol. As long as hes healthy! Everything looks good he says, his heartbeat was 140 and hes still head down j. Well I will post more pics, I will take them today and post them today or tomorrow. Might not till tomorrow because im working the late shift today (11:00-Cool* but that’s my long update!

Thanks!! I just still feel a little bad for not hearing it. .But next week I will make sure I listen! Im so happy my doc doesnt let u go past ur due date tho, that makes me so much more excited!! But iam still kinda nervous when I measure small.. But he said he thinks its just the baby is a little small which is fine, not abnormally small or anything. .But still makes me a tad nervous!

Well kari my baby weighs 6lb 7oz already and they said by birth 8lb and 7oz. She guessed 8lb 10oz at the most. &pounds 2o sounds great to me hun. That is not premie or anything! Its like 5 1/2ponds or something correct me if I am wrong but just remember baby is gonna gain 1/2 pound each week now so don't sweat it girl. Sounds like great size to me!!!
My doc likes to talk when we hear the hb too. I would not feel bad hun. Tell him next time to turn it up, lol. I tell doc to turn it up a little everytime, lol.
Lots of love,
heather and hayley
