We saw the obstetrician on Friday and she said I was looking bigger than full term.....measured me at 42.5 weeks at 34 weeks exactly...yikes!!! She said I was about the size she would expect to see someone of my gestation who is carryin twins...and just looking at BD's beautiful belly shots I think she is right.
She says if I was to come into the office at 36 weeks and say I cant take anymore she would completely undertsand and symapthasize and would be happy to deliver from that point on...that's Friday week....OMG!! I'm gonna be a mummy soon...
My personal goal is hopefully 37 weeks for good lung development but we will see...at the moment it is day by day. We are now on twice weekly CTGs and once weekly umbilcal artery flow scans to keep an eye on bubs.......fun fun fun..between those and ob appts, diabetes specialist appts, chiropractor, acupuncture and myotherapy pretty much every day has something packed in there!!!
Since Friday I have been getting swollen ankles and feet by the end of the day but it seems to go down overnight....the right foot worse than the left...anyone else had lopsided cankles?!
Oh and to compare here is my 34 belly shots..only one there and pretty much as big as BD
