Waaaaay back at the beginning of my pregnancy I thought 30 weeks was pretty much the end. I can't believe we still have 10 more weeks to go! I don't know if I have 10 more weeks of growing left in me! Where is he going to go????
Overall I am feeling great-pregnancy-wise. But horrible allergy-wise! Since Friday I have been suffering from the New England seasonal allergies that wreck me each year. I have not been sleeping well and I just feel like garbage. Luckily, today I had my 4 week check-up and asked my doctor if I can take anything. I was surprised to hear I can pretty much take anything. Since we already had Zyrtec, I popped one of those and I already feel like I am out of the allergy fog. Yeah, I'm still congested, my throat is still sore, and my breathing is still not great, but WOW, I am feeling a whole lot better!
At the doctor, all of my urine tests came back normal. No sugar. No protein. That means no worrying about diabetes or preeclampsia!
According to the doc, my fundal height is measuring 30 cm. I am not convinced she accurately measures this! Oh well!
And in best news....I have only gained 2 pounds since my last appointment 4 weeks ago. That is a lot better than my 8 pounds in 3 weeks that I toppled the scale with at my last appointment.
Now my appointments will be every 2 weeks until the last month. Crazy! We are getting down to the wire!

ReplyDeleteThanks!!!
DeleteI'm not sure if you read my blog when I was pregnant and first had Jansen... but I gained 38 pounds and delivered at 36.5 weeks. Also, I didn't know I was in labor. It's a good story if you haven't heard it!
ReplyDeleteYou're in the home stretch! The days are long but time is flying... It'll be the same once he's here. Congrats!!
I was reading your blog at the time, but not religiously! I started checking it out when you were doing your Biggest Loser posts.
DeleteI do vaguely remember your birth story though. I'll have to go back and check it out soon! I have a feeling my little bugger might make his appearance around the same time Jansen made his!
