Baby Update
I'm full term today! Woohoo!! 
I had my 37 week check up this morning and the scale had jumped 4lbs in just two weeks -- holy hell that's some serious water retention!! My doctor wasn't too concerned because she said a lot of women will gain weight like that one week and nothing the next (thank god!). My bp has always been slightly borderline but it was okay today (122/80). She tested my bp twice because of the swelling of my legs and feet. She said the rest of me didn't look swollen though so that was a good sign. My cervix is doing nothing but she hopes that I will go into labor on my own in the next two weeks. She had blood work done to check for pre-eclampsia (not that there is any protein in my urine). She also mentioned again that I have a big baby on my hands... she thought his growth spurt ended but he's growing again, lol.
And it's a good thing that I went on maternity leave early because I am on what I guess is moderated bedrest. I am allowed to get up and make myself breakfast then park my butt on the couch from 9-11ish. I can make lunch and run ONE errand... then it's back to the couch from 2-5. I am not the kind of person who can sit still so this will be fun!
Hopefully my cervix decides to get moving by next week's appointment!
Re: Baby Update
Hello. I've waited here for you. Everlong<3<br>
I had BP issues and swelling issues at the end. I had no legs, seriously looked like an elephant. I wasn't pre-e either but tested for it, and sent into L&D at my 38th week appt. Only to go home and be back 6 days later for a baby 1 week early!!
Hope the lil one comes soon. I had no patience for the bed rest either, I am not one to stay indoors.
