36 week mark! Had an appt. yesterday. Lil' lady had a strong hb, is head down & doc says she is positioned low (& boy that must hurt--hey Mr. Male Doctor, DUH! but you're a man, do not pretend to understand!).
Cervix is closed, but the doc said she's so low, he's guessing I'll have her around 37 weeks (like brother). Geez Louise kiddo... give it literally a couple more days & your dad will be here! My belly measured 34cm, so I'm guessing she's a wee one, as expected.
Doc gave me diflucan for yeast infection which he said will more than likely follow the ten days of antibiotics I am on (for a horrid ear infection). However I read last night this was a category C drug, upgraded to Category D. They claim it is only dangerous when taken in large doses (800mg+) over long periods of time. My pill is a once only, 150mg tablet, but I'm not risking it. Will continue eating yogurt & if I that doesn't do it, worst thing that happens is Lorelei (or Lor-alley, as my Asian doc yesterday pronounced it) will be born w/ thrush, which is completely harmless & curable. To me, that sounds like the better alternative (I had thrush when born & I'm fine) vs a potential list of frightening issues from taking diflucan.
After the appt., they had me do birth certificate paperwork. That sure makes all of this a reality! She said they really don't like to bother you too much after having the baby, so it's hospital policy to do it now. I told the gal, she would have hated me with Liam, Mr. No name for what--a week?!
I didn't get to tour MIU again because they were so full (5-6 rooms only I believe he said). So we will try next week. They did say it's a family affair, meaning kev and baby room-in with mommy (assuming daddy makes it). We got Grammy a pass to get on base yesterday, next week I'll do the same for my mom. That's an important step (especially if Kevin doesn't make it). They did tell me yesterday I'd better put that measure in place. Phew-glad we did that before my appt.!
And finally, last night I maneuvered out of bed to go to the bathroom around 2a.m. I felt a movement & then gushed out fluid. I panicked my water just broke--but quickly realized that's not what it was. Embarrassing for sure, but in my defense there is literally a head tickling my bladder. My first pregnancy accident :(
Ewwww!
Since that episode & the warnings I received yesterday, today my mission is to pack Liam an over night bag, finish my bag & sit, sit, sit. This is sooo happening soon. I get all teary eyed just thinking about it! Soooo excited to meet you Lorelei Rose, but lets give it a week (or if you'd like to meet your daddy on your birthday, how about almost 2 weeks?). Love you sweet lil' one! I know you're going to be sooo worth all you've put me through in 36 weeks :D
