Yesterday was my 38 week appointment. And I am finally out of the rotation of doctors and back to my own. Sigh.... of relief. My main concern for this appointment is that from week 33/34 up until last week I have been told that the baby is head down. Now a few weeks ago I would have completely agreed due to the amount of pressure I have felt with BH. But lately no so much. I have a ton of pressure on my left hip bone and what feels like feet off to the right side of my ribs. So during my uncomfortable exam she said " you right- I don't feel a head any longer". What not head down, I'm 38 weeks ! The doctor did say that since the past few weeks he has been in the vertex position she was pretty confident he may have just floated above the pelvis. But at 38 weeks there is not much time left for guessing games. I am sitting now waiting to hear from medical imaging, as the doctor ordered an ultrasound for TODAY.
I am so excited for this. My last ultrasound was at the mid point in pregnancy so I can't imagine what he looks like at 38 weeks. The point of the ultrasound is to check on the presentation of the baby, but I also want to get a guess on his weight. Yeah me ( and Jason too).
I will update this post after my appointment with any exciting news.
