My Doc Appointment
Posted: 11-04-04 11:39am

I had my 32 weeks doc appointment today. Tru and I are measuring a week ahead of schedule, so maybe she'll come early! I'm a little effaced but not dialated at all. Tru weighs almost 5 pounds already! Omgosh!!

That's good for you I as long as she's a healthy baby.

How did the doctor determine her weight. I wonder how much my baby weighs

They take measurements and figure out the babies size, but im not sure what else is envolved. I can ask my daddy he is an ultrasound tech =)

whoa that's awesome!! So when you get preggers you'll have sooo many ultrasounds!!

They gave me one this time - a printout, but it looks just the same as the one I posted recently that was a good picture of her face, so i'm not gonna bother posting it! She is getting very hard to see on the u/s machine, prob because she is getting so big!

i've had 5 so far!! Once at my first appointment. They were checking for an ectopic pregnancy. Then at my first appointment at 10 weeks for no reason at all! Then at 19 weeks to find out the sex, at 27 weeks or so because she stopped moving, and now at 32 weeks to see how big she was.

Oh! I forgot to mention that she's already head down!

Wow she is already facing down, you are so close then.

I would like another one done. The first one I went to I was I think 16 weeks they said everything was fine and they saw the sex and that was it. Thank god for that but I would like at least one more.

I'm going to ask my mid wife next week when I see her I will be 29 weeks.
