Especially eHealthy
Had my appointment this morning I am 38 weeks and 2 days, 12 days left, they took my iron this time they havent done that ina while it was 12 something but she said was good, blood pressure and everything normal , they monitored her heartbeat for 15 min and contractions,t he heart beat is really good they said, I had one contraction. Ultrasound went well its around 3500 grams I havent looked up the pounds yet its a littel over 6lbs or so I know last week it was estimated 6lbs 5 oz. So eh we will see, they checked my cervix today I am not dilated at the moment but my cervix has shortened, normal cervix is 4cm in length and mine was 2cm at 28 weeks and today was 1cm. My next appt is on my due date , she said everything is good so I could come back next week or the following it didnt matter so I chose 2 weeks away.
I found out that if she is healthy and I am healthy I can leave the hossy 4 hrs after. I just have to let them know if I plan on staying or not when I get there so they can know to get a bed ready or not so lets just hope it all ends well and we are both healthy and I can leave !!!
The hospital here is soooooo gloomy and dark , and I saw a nurse bringign a patient a tray today and she was eating off of it , that is like really nasty.

They also said they would let me go 12-14 days over if all is well so eh hopefully my baby comes in 2006 and not 2007 hehe Smile
