37 wks update & pic

that's weird... my 37wk appt is 3/31 at 2pm... how strange is that?!

You look big for measuring 33wks! Is that just from measuring your tummy? Don't worry about it, you still have 3 more weeks!

Good Luck!!!

Try not to worry too much.. I measured about 4 weeks behind towards the end & even though my little girl was small (only 5lbs) she was perfectly healthy. The doctors induced me at 37 weeks because she'd stopped growing in the womb.

I'm sure everything will be fine.. let us know how your ultrasound goes! You look great by the way

I'm going in Friday for my 37 week appt too! I am having my StrepB test done, and they also said they'll check to see if dialation has started. I'm nervous. I don't do well with pap tests, it's a mental thing. I get all freaked out, so hopefully I won't be too bad.

I'm sure your babe will be fine. My belly is about the same size as yours in that picture.

your baby will be fine, if they thought otherwise they would have induced

Thanks girls. For the two of you that have dr. appt.'s, I wish you luck. Getting checked for dilation can be a bit uncomfortable, but it's all worth it to know if & how much you progressing. BUT... don't get discouraged if you don't show progress (especially if this is your first pregnancy), it doesn't mean everything. You could be 0cm, 0% effaced & still go into labor -or- you could you show absolutely no progress one week, & be a whole 2cm, 75% effaced (just for example) just the next week! I'm trying not to worry to much about my little guy, he's still extremely active (to the point of pain ), so I'm sure he's just fine. The only explanation I could really find online, is IUGR (when the baby stops growing inside the mother's uterus), which sounds like another one of you explained happening to your daughter... I would just hate to have to be induced... again! BUT... if it's for my baby's health, then I'm all for it!

yea, my sister was completely closed one day, three days later she was in labor for a whole 6 hours, pushed 5 times, and it was over. First baby too. I'm so jealous, my luck I'll be in labor for 48 hours and end up with a C-Section. I doubt it though, my doctor is really CS crazy.

I had my StrepB test done, and I was SO happy they didn't have to go inside. I think I'd rather have a hand than a duck bill up there...
