Big Baby!!!

39 week appointment:

Baby is measuring 9  lbs 6 oz (plus or minus 8 oz).  She's a big girl!!! Fluid level is perfect.  I gained 4 lbs between Tuesday and Friday and my blood pressure was high at the appointment.  They said they will monitor the BP and see how things go.  I was negative again for preE.  He said he's not really concerned about the BP since baby is measuring big ... unless it goes up to like 160/110.  It was around 150/90 on Fri.   Every other appointment i've been around 115/70 - what a crazy jump!!!    I'm going to reduce any salt/prepared foods this weekend and hopefully Monday will be better.  :)

Poor Paul was late for the doc appt  by only a few minutes and missed the u/s.  Hopefully he'll learn to be on time from now on.  :)  I couldn't ask them to hold up their schedule for us...  He is sometimes a workaholic.

Because I was measuring at the 98th percentile for baby girl's size, they squeezed me in to see a doc.  (There wasn't any appts available).  The doc checked me again and I have not progressed - still 2 cm/50%/-2. He said he still doesn't think we'll need to induce because people deliver 10lb  babies just fine.  He said if I was diabetic, he would induce.  Ugh, I'm going to end up with a C-section after laboring b/c this baby isn't going to fit out of me.  He said on Monday if my bp is still high, they'll send me to the hospital for some monitoring of some sort.
