Time's about to fly...

No kidding! My next appointment (I am sure this is about the same for you) is my last 4 week appt. and then it's on to every 2 weeks already.

I just talked to my OB a bit about delivery yesterday ... she said that they wouldn't typically let me go more than 2 weeks Indifferent past my due date, but depending on how I am doing and how the baby is, they might consider it a week or a week and a half after my due date.

CRAZY. I had not thought about that. My next appt is 7/29...I have to do the 1 hour glucose. But you're probably right that I'd change to every other week at that point. NUTS.

Also, I am almost done with Our Bodies Ourselves, Pregnancy and Childbirth edition. It is really interesting and it helped me think more about delivery and all that. I have questions now for my next appt...which is good I guess!

Yeah they had scheduled all of my appointments upfront, so I know exactly when I am going up until I deliver. Yesterday she went over the results of my first GD test (I had an early one hour GD test at 20 weeks and passed with a 99 - cutoff is 140) and then mentioned that she'll have me do it again next time and then she'll see me every 2 weeks after that ... it made me a little giddy.

I was actually surprised that she measured my fundal height yesterday ... for some reason I didn't expect that until 28 weeks.

I don't know that I've heard of that one ... I'll have to check it out! I'd be interested in your Q and A's!

It's a decent book - lots of info, but not a ton of depth. They measured my fundal height at my 23 week appt. It bugs me that I'm "off" because I started going at 8, 12, 16, then had the anatomy scan at 19 and they did my 20 week appt then...so then I went at 23 weeks and will go on 7/29 at 27 weeks. I don't know why it bothers me. I feel like increments of four are some bigger milestone. I'm nuts.

Mainly I want to know what kind of philosophy they have around medication, what kind of resources they offer for non-medical pain relief, if they wait for the cord to stop pulsing before cutting it, if they allow you to have skin to skin/nurse immediately after delivery (assuming mom and baby are healthy). These are all things that are recommended but not always customary at every hospital.
