Early Baby?

Yesterday I went to my 34 week check up and my last fetal fibernectin (yippee!) . I have had a lot of pressure lately (welcome to the third trimester) and some spotting. Upon examination the mid wife said I am 50% effaced! AAHH!

She was much more laid back about than I. She said if I went into labor at any point from now on they would not try and stop it. Apparently she forgot that fact that Christmas is 4 weeks away and I have a ton to do to get ready...the baby just needs to wait until his or her due date :)

The good news is that she thinks the baby is head down but I have an ultrasound next week to confirm.

Turn Baby Turn

I had my 32 weeks check up last week and the baby is still breech :( The doctor says that if the baby remains breech at 35 weeks she will give me some homepathic things to try. If the baby has not turned by 37 weeks then we will discuss a version. It sounds pretty painful and somewhat risky but the alternative is a c-section...I'm not crazy about either option.

As of my last ultrasound (last Monday) the baby was 4lbs 2oz...so he/she is running out of space. Keep your fingers crossed that he/she will turn and we can avoid any intervention :)
