I spent a few hours at my prenatal appt this morning. Aside from the appointment, I also needed to do some bloodwork and then go back upstairs to get my RhoGAM shot.
I've only gained 10 pounds total! The nurse Midwife I saw during my last appointment was kind of giving me a hard time for gaining weight. What!?!? This time I saw a different person and she was super proud of me for keeping my weight in check and for only gaining 10 pounds! I LIKE HER!
Speaking of 10 pounds, after measuring my belly, looking at the growth percentile charts, and feeling the baby, the doctor guesstimated that this little guy will probably be in the 10 to 11 pound range at birth. I have an ultrasound coming up and they'll try to better determine how big he'll be. If he's measuring really big, they'll either offer me a c-section or if around 38 weeks I'm "ripe", meaning dialated to at least a 3 or 4 and starting to efface, then they'll induce me at 38 or 39 weeks, depending on the baby's projected size.
