Pregnancy Update, 37 weeks.

Saturday, January 10, 2009

We had our weekly check-up yesterday. My OB said Baby Dot is already considered full term and I could be giving birth anytime soon. She just shook her head in disbelief when she realized that I gained 2lbs in 6days! Not good, eh. It would have been good if the weight I gained is mine alone but Dot gained significantly the past week, she's now a seven-pounder! Dr. OB said I should watch what I eat from now on and keep the weight I have (I've gained 26lbs vs. pre-pregnancy weight) if I don't want to have a hard time giving birth. I should put that to heart.

Out of habit, I was still drinking two glasses of milk a day and was shocked that I was advised to just 1 glass a day since last week! Sheesh, I wasn't reading my book!

My OB performed an IE (ouch!). My cervix is still closed and the head is still high. My doctor's other patient, whose EDD is just a day from mine, is already 1cm dilated. I was so envious! I was advised to do some walking, and that I promise to do tomorrow (since I just slept all day today, ugh!). We also did some breathing exercises and some pushing. I need to practice pushing some more so I won't forget. I didn't know there is a technique for that and it's difficult to do, huh.

I had a bit of a bloody show yesterday but Dra. A said I should expect it because of the IE. I still got some today but I am not panicking. She said it's expected and not to worry unless there's trickling already.

I'm still good. I'm more bored than scared. I hope we'll have a good week ahead.
