My full 26 week update

I had posted this in appointments but here is more..

Appointment went well.
Wt 222 (weight in Aug prepreg was 208)
BP 130/80
Fundal ht: 33cm
HR Hayden 145 Natasha 150

Looks great, my glucose test was negative :lol: . I am now at weekly appointments!
We did talk about the options of how things will pan out for the VBAC, labor before 34 weeks no V, No vertex baby no V, any signs of pre-eclampsia no V. I told him that I understand that all, it is just important that we keep the door open so to speak until we cross that bridge. He said he is very hopeful that we will make it to 37 weeks and that I will be able to have the birth of my choice. So we take every precaution until then.
Next week is sono where they will check my cervix and the babies growth. Sono's will be every other week.
NonStress Test will be the following week with a FFN test , this will also be done on alternate weeks from the sonos.
When they start to see any funnelling or dialation of my cervix my happy self is grounded to bed rest to make it to 37 weeks!
Then there will also be manual exams if any changes are noted.
I did ask about getting a handicap parking pass for the next little while. I had an incident at Cub this last week. I went in to drop off a script for my Grandma and when I came out some jack has tried to park next to me, at a serious angle and way close. I ended up getting in the passenger side and crawling over to drive. I did not leave a nasty note on the car or wait to inform the driver of how rude their parking was. Dr. H asked me to see what he needs to do for the pass as he has never written for one. It's not so much for the good spot, but to be able to get in and out of my car!
I am now on no genital stimulation orders. I can do my kegals, just nothing else. So I have turned to Cheese Fries as my source of pleasure. :rotflmbo:
Oh boy we really are starting to get to the homestretch here! Must hold babies in until April!
A really nice thing is that the cold weather feels pretty danged good when these hotflashes hit!

 

It sounds like things are going well. I'm with you on the hot flashes, I am so happy it is not summer right now, I would be laying in front of the air conditioner. Good job keeping those babies baking.

 

Here is hoping you get the birth you want in April :drinks:

 

great appt!

 

Sounds like everything is going great! Keep up the good work and keep us posted!

 

Glad things are going well!

 

Sounds like everything is going great. hang in there!

I am glad things are going well for you.

Is everyone being seen weekly after week 26? I'm not! I was seen at 24 weeks, and had an u/s and glucose week 25, no appointment until week 28. Then I will be seen every 2 weeks.
