So we would have had the u/s this past week..it went well baby slowed down growing BIG time and was perfectly on track for the date i had planned from the beginning the 29th!
so it was about 6 1/2 pounds..all else looked good, nst went well. my mom went with me since dill was out hunting or whatever. baby liked the ice chips! my bp is still struggling at this point but what's new. i've slowed down working quiet a bit in order to relieve it a little since i'm sure work is a major cause of it! Thursday of this week I started to get a little excited I was having some good contractions about ever 3-5 mins lasting 45 seconds to a minute...then exactly an hour in the quit. ugh.
Your Baby
Huge news this week: You're carrying a full-term baby! If you were to go into labor today, all systems would be a go. Woohoo! Even though you can't wait for the little bambino to quite literally rear his head, keep in mind that your bun benefits from every day in the oven. Other ticker-tape-worthy developments:
Baby's growth slows down dramatically this week, which is great news for your birth canal. His bones are still soft and pliable and will solidify after he's born. More great news for your birth canal.
So if he's all cooked and ready to go, what the heck is he still doing in there?! He's busy practicing for "life on the outside," working on his breathing, sucking, sleeping, gazing and peeing abilities. The only thing he can't practice yet is his ability to scream at the top of his lungs when he's hungry—but he'll do plenty of that in a few weeks.
At this point babies vary in size, but the average length is between 19 and 20 inches and most babies weigh approximately 6 pounds. About the size of an average largemouth bass caught in Minnesota by your cousin Earl.
