37 week appointment and other stuff
As of yesterday, I am 1/2 cm dialated and just a tad effaced. Peanut did well on her NST again. I finally got the doctor's interpretation of my last u/s. He said that as of 35wks Peanut was in the 71st percentile. A bit a research tells me that this is not huge, but it's enough to give me nightmares about a 13 pound baby lol!
I had a ton of BH contractions last night.. and I mean a TON! It started somewhere between 6 and 7 pm last night, averaging about 1 every 10 minutes (but no consistant timing) and didn't really subside until about 5am this morning. I don't know quite how frequent they were during the night, but I was awakened by them several times. Also had a tiny bit of cramping and cervical pain during this time too, but not enough to get me to call the doctor.
I think all that kinda worried DH. It was his night off and he had plans that potentially involved drinking. He doesn't go out drinking often (well, since I stopped being able to go to the bar anyways lol) so he has a habit of overdoing it when he does go out. I think he had 2 beers despite pressure from friends to drink more (I guess it was supposed to be some kind of male version of a baby shower???). It was at a friend's house so he could have just crashed there if he drank too much, but he was worried I might go into labor.
I think I mentioned that everyone seems to think I won't make it past Christmas. After telling a friend about last night, she says she doesn't see me making it to my next appointment lol! I guess only time will tell!
