I had my 37 week check up yesterday. Belly measured 36cm & I weighed in at 117.8 (almost 24lb gain, just like my pregnancy w/ Liam, I believe). Very proud of myself for that! Wish I could keep it on, but know after I have her, over 10 of it will be lost & breastfeeding will do away with the rest (I'm just going to try not to get skinnier from breastfeeding than I was before getting pregnant, like I did with Liam).
Doctor did an exam, thinking since I wasn't dilated at all the Friday before my 36th week began, that there wouldn't be much change. To his surprise & mine, I am dilated 2cm & thinned A LOT! His guess was within the week, then he said well definitely not tonight, probably not tomorrow, but maybe over the weekend. Ooookay?! Well, considering daddy is coming home TODAY, lets wait until at least tomorrow Miss Lorelei... Please?! Daddy & mommy truly appreciate how cooperative you've been so far. We're in the homestretch now, so stay put!
Doctor said Lorelei is very, very low. Since I know 2cm can mean soon or weeks, I'm thinking her positioning is what is making him sway toward her making her way out soon! I will say there are limbs under my boobs (making it difficult to breathe--I can't even sit in most positions) & there is a head/shoulders in my pelvis! Very uncomfortable but I'm willing to stay that way for at least another day ;) Hoping she is too! :)
So excited to meet you Lorelei. Our little family is so special already, now we're growing into super special! So grateful you're joining it & completing us!
