I was 37 weeks + 1 day at this visit
Vitals: all vitals looked good, including urine, weight, temperature, and blood pressure
Weight: At my last appointment I was 140 and at this appointment I was 142 so I gained 2 lbs last week. I am gaining wight a little faster than I would like now. I am not so sure why I am gaining so much wight, I haven't been eating more or exercising less... I have now gained 31 lbs since I got pregnant.
Uterus: My uterus is small still but now my doctor seems to think that the reason is because my baby is angled weird. He thinks he is just super curled up, because he is not small and I do have enough fluid.
NST: My NST results were normal. I wasn't having any contractions this time so the ones last week probably were just Braxton Hicks.
Notes: No new news really this was just a routine appointment. My results came back for my Group-B Strep test and they were negative. My doctor also told me my iron is at a 9.9 and they like it to be 10 or higher so I now have to take iron pills.
I managed to get a pic of the NST this time! :] The pink band measures contractions and the blue measures my baby's heartbeat.
This is the sheet that prints out of the NST machine kinda like an EKG it prints as it goes. The wavy line to the left is the heartbeat, to get a good NST the waves have to go up when he moves (you can see where he moved marked by the arrows right in the middle. The bottom wavy line is the contractions, as you can see that one is basically flat, cuz I wasn't having any.
I also got a a growth ultrasound on the 17th. This was taken at 37 weeks even. They said Bear is now 6lbs 4oz! Last time at the one I took at 30 weeks he was 3lbs 11oz so he has grown a lot! They also said he now has hair! :] His heart rate was 132 BPM and his anatomy looked all good. I couldn't get a good pic. but he is adorable with fat little cheeks now. :]
AND TODAY MY ROOMMATES ARE LEAVING!!!! OH HAPPY DAY! (I will be sure to post how that goes tomorrow).
