hi ppl,
hope all of u r fine ...for the members with earliest due dates its a matter of weeks...so should be anxious and also eager...lets hope in the name of God that all of us have a safe and minimum painful labour.....

my modem wanted some pampering to be done and it took 1 week for us to bring it to normalcy...and at last am able to mail u ppl....i have not yet read any of the messages on the board also...

this monday will mark the start of week 36 of my pg.last week i had an appt and the wait factor which had been troubling me gave away and i had gained 2.5 kgs in 2 weeks inspite of me not eating junks and jus a protein diet for my breakfast....docs were puzzled at this mismatching weight change...during my last appt i gained jus 100 gms and now its 2.5 kgs....

everything was normal in my last appt and baby measurements were normal.nowadays i literally sleep only for 2 hrs coz of constantly changing positions.anyways i compensate for it by sleeping during the day atleast for 5 to 6 hrs.

i have a lot of movements throughout night which adds to my sleeplesness...whenever i experience very strong movements , i become v apprehensive that am hurting the baby and so get up n sit.i think every1 is in the same boat as me.

my next appt is on 13th....and after that twil be a weekly check up and they said the scan will be in the last week of august as am due on sep 13th.they said they will be checking the fluid levels and head position.but i felt they they were doing it very late.have anyone of u passed this stage and if so at which week was it done?

and does anyone know how to find out without the scan whether the baby is head down?

then hope the rest of u r enjoying...i think meenu is ahead of us all and all the best Meenu.

rest in next....

love,vidhya. chini replied. Yes you can find out whether the baby's head is down and engaged or not. the doctor usually does with her bare hands. Thats how she found out that my baby had moved after being head down for a few weeks. She feels your pelvis for the baby's head. Ofcourse its a primitive method, but usually accurate. MM replied. Hi Vidhya,
Good to see u back. We were just wondering where have u disappeared. Now we know the cause...Anyways good to hear that ur preg is going fine and the wt gain - my guess shud be fine once in a while high low, U compensated for the last 2 weeks.Everybody is sailing in the same boat with anxiety n pressure building up since we have come so far along and dont wanna skip those last few pangs of labor days I guess. Though I feel it has been forever but even then at the back of my heart I say just few weeks more the baby shud stay in there.
As far as ur question is concerned about U/S I had mine at the end of 35 weeks and everything seemed fine. My doc asked me if I had any contractions she might check internally but since there were none she decided to wait until next time for my next appt on 18th. After that I'll be having weekly checkups too.
Hey if U had noticed we have a mom of twins here, Its wonderful to have her share new experiences and so U never know who's news r we gonna here first.
From today I still have a whole month to go soooooo lets wait n watch.
Till then take care
Meenu
