Pregnancy Highlights:How far along: I am 35 weeks pregnant!
Size of Baby: Baby weighs as much as a honeydew melon!
Cravings: Toast with butter.
Symptoms: Fatigue, strange dreams, some contractions.
Best Moment this week: Well, it didn't start as the best moment... I had an appointment and growth ultrasound on Thursday, and learned that I had oligohydramnios (low amniotic fluid), and Baby was not very active. I had been sick with a bad cold, so Dr. G was hopeful that with hospitalization and fluids, both would improve. I was in the hospital overnight, and received two doses of steroids to prepare the baby's lungs for a preterm birth. We learned that our son was a good size for 35 weeks and 4 days at 6 1/2 pounds! We were released on bedrest, drinking 3L of water a day, and will see Dr. G twice weekly for ultrasounds, NST monitoring, and visits until delivery. We are so grateful for such a proactive, skilled, compassionate doctor.
