My OB appointments have now become bi-weekly instead of monthly which only shows how quickly my due-date is approaching. Today's appointment was as uneventful as ever, but they say no-news is good-news, right? My weight gain, blood pressure, and growth are all measuring on track, and the baby is currently positioned head down (hopefully she won't decide to flip last minute!). I got to hear the heartbeat which was pretty fast; my OB never fails in finding the heartbeat within some 2-3 seconds which is pretty impressive if you're asking me.
I have finally booked my next ultrasound for 35-weeks on March 6, 2008. It will determine whether my placenta is still laying low or whether it has hopefully moved up into the correct position. Most times it does, but it's important to confirm it with a scan. Worst case scenario with Placenta Previa is a scheduled c-section, so let's hope my placenta relocated itself and we won't need any of that. Keep your fingers crossed!
On a different note, the baby has been awfully active lately. Hiccups, in particular. I remember how Natasha had hiccups while inside me all the time, and when she was finally born, the hiccup routines were still very similar (every day, twice a day). So her little sister is following in her footsteps it seems. The kicks are becoming a lot stronger as the baby is getting bigger, but they're also not as jumpy as they used to be and I'm assuming it's because the baby's space to move around is becoming smaller and more limited. I go back in 2 weeks!
