FTM? STM? 10th time mom? FTM!
Tell us about your appointment Platelet count was up from last week, so yay! I know I'm GBS positive from earlier so they didn't check that again.

Tell us about you - How far along are you? 36w1d (tho actually had my appointment Tuesday at 35,5)
EDD? 2/26
Symptoms? Sporadic BH, heartburn, and my walk is much more like a waddle. Hip pain when I'm lying down. Headaches helped by chiropractic adjustment.
How are you sleeping? Depends on how badly my hips hurt.
FTM? STM? 10th time mom? FTM
Tell us about your appointment - Medical highlights (fundal measurement, doppler, NST, U/S, etc) of your appointment? Normal urine & weight gain & BP. Fundus measured 35. Normal fetal heartbeat. GBS swab (get the results at next appt.)
Do your doctor/midwife do a cervix check? Yes since my pants were already off for the GBS swab.
Are you dilated? Cervix is high and soft, outside is fingertip & inside is closed. So I would say no. Doc said soft is good & from what he can tell of the baby's size and how my pelvis is opening I shouldn't have problems with VB.
Do you have a scheduled c/s or induction date? Nope
Tell us about you - How far along are you? 36+2 EDD? 2/25 Symptoms? Not too many. Still feeling pretty well, just not getting as much sleep as I'd like. How are you sleeping? Not great. I feel a lot better when I'm up and active than I do when I'm in bed at night. I can't get comfortable, have trouble falling asleep, wake up repeatedly to pee and then have trouble getting comfortable and falling asleep all over again. I also have been having these 2-4 hour stretches where I wake up awake and alert and can not get back to sleep at all. every now and then I'll have a really good night, though. I feel like I'm about due for one of those. Fingers crossed for tonight... FTM? STM? 10th time mom? 3'rd time mom
Tell us about your appointment - Medical highlights (fundal measurement, doppler, NST, U/S, etc) of your appointment? fundal height right on track, good strong heartbeat. no NSTs or U/S for me. Do your doctor/midwife do a cervix check? I had a surprise GBS and cervix check today. It was not my usual doctor. Are you dilated? He didn't say. He did say he could feel the baby's head but it was super high up there. I didn't ask about dilation because I don't want to get myself freaked out. I have a scheduled c/s that I am hoping to make it to with no drama and don't even want to think about having to go through labor too. Do you have a scheduled c/s or induction date? c/s on my due date When is your next appointment? Next week a 37.

Tell us about your appointment - Everything went really well, doc was still happy with our progression and says baby looks amazing still. GBS test was done and so we'll see how that went next appt.
Medical highlights (fundal measurement, doppler, NST, U/S, etc) of your appointment? U/S went amazing. The tech was happy with all the measurements he took. Doc told us baby is about 6 lbs 8 oz and she expects him to be at least 2 lbs heavier when/if we get to our EDD.
Do your doctor/midwife do a cervix check? Yes, though mostly because she happened to be down there this visit.
Are you dilated? Apparently so! We were surprised to find out we are dilated 2 cm. Doc was a little surprised too but said we're still just fine.
Do you have a scheduled c/s or induction date? Nope. Doc doesn't like scheduling for inductions until she absolutely must, so until 40 weeks, she said we wont worry on any of that.

Tell us about your appointment - Medical highlights (fundal measurement, doppler, NST, U/S, etc) of your appointment? Measured ok, HB 152 (it's been 144 EVERY time, so that was different), fussed about blood pressure but doc said my swelling isn't very bad so just stay on the BP meds and maybe it won't get worse Did your doctor/midwife do a cervix check? Not this time. Are you dilated? Dunno! Do you have a scheduled c/s or induction date? Nope When is your next appointment? 2/9
