Went in for 37 week check up today. At 37 weeks (officially tomorrow) the baby is FULL TERM. So that means that the baby could really come at any time now. The bun is done cooking now we're just waiting for our little one to "catch a wave" and ride on in. Gently and with ease. And pain free. With little to know labor on my part. Ahhh...wishful thinking!
Yes, any time now is medically fine but I'm under strict instruction from my friend Jen that I'm not to have this baby before the end of next week (she's going to the beach and won't be here). I also can't have the baby between Aug. 4th and Aug. 11th (my Mother-In-Law & Father-In-Law will be out of town). Anybody else have any preferences? LOL
My blood pressure was normal to high today and combined with my swelling that makes the doctors nervous. They don't want me to get Pregnancy Induced Hypertension. If I get Pregnancy Induced Hypertension they'll have to induce me ASAP - or more likely -- take the baby via C-Section. So I've been instructed to "stay off my feet" as much as possible. NOT bed rest -- just no trips to the mall or the zoo. And I'm supposed to stay away from salt -- but for real this time. Eric said I'm "not allowed to eat anything but fresh veggies, fresh fruit and meat with no seasoning." SO LAME! I hate having to sneak food!
The doctor did not to an internal exam on me today and I was bummed about that. They will start checking under the hood again next week. The doctor did say my test for Strep B came back negative so I won't need the antibiotics during labor. Before she left she said, "I'll see you next week if not before!" which got me all excited! Then scared. Then excited again!
