My legs are so swollen tonight that I couldn't bend my knees very far in my jeans. Jesus. I have indents from the seams down both sides of my legs. Can barely flex my ankles either due to all the fluid.
I'm glad I made it this far before this happened. Last time this went on for weeks.
Glad I'm being reassessed on Thursday though because the swelling does seem to be getting a lot worse really fast and my headache is back, on and off.

Oh crap I was going to pack my hospital bag before my early appt tomorrow. I will do that now. I was coming here to ask you if you packed your hospital bag since we were both going to do it today. I didn't pack mine, but I did pack for the baby. |

My appointment was ok..I declined the cervical check and she was just fine with my choice. But she's concerned about the baby's growth, so I need to schedule a growth ultrasound. DD1 was on the smaller side so I'm trying not to worry. Hopefully I don't have to wait long for the ultrasound and the results.

bubbles FX you can get in soon for the growth US. Were you measuring small on fundal height? I was, she measured me at 32, remeasured and said she'd call it 33. I'm 37+4. I should have asked but I swear she measured me at 35 last week but I may be mistaken. With DD1 I was almost always measuring slightly behind but never this off. |

I hope they can get you in soon bubbles. FWIW I've been measuring right on track on fundal height but somehow the baby was measuring big upon ultrasound. I have my follow up on Thursday. All that to say, I think fundal height is probably not the most accurate. But neither is ultrasound. So maybe it isn't that reassuring, lol. |

I agree, I don't think either are all that accurate. So basically, it's all just a mind fuck lol. I hope your follow up goes well. |

I should have asked but I swear she measured me at 35 last week but I may be mistaken. With DD1 I was almost always measuring slightly behind but never this off. It's not uncommon for your fundal height to fluctuate like that at the end because the baby could have engaged in the pelvis, making it seem like they haven't grown when there's just less of them stretching your belly near your ribs. Like TGB said, fundal height is notoriously inaccurate! They use it as a starting point to know when to refer for ultrasound, but it's often way off the actual measurements. Case in point: I have measured anywhere from 3 weeks behind to 4 weeks ahead at different points in this pregnancy. At 35 weeks, I was measuring 36 by fundal height but baby was measuring 39 weeks by ultrasound. |

Ugh. No sleep again.
My daughter peed her bed at 5:30 and wouldn't go back to sleep. Which caused her to wake up my son. So we've been up since 6:30 watching paw patrol while I try to wake up before making them breakfast and making my son get ready for school.
It's going to be a super LONG day. I'm watching my nephew (who's 2) and my sisters kid that she babysits (Also 2) from 10:30-12. I'm exhausted just thinking about it.
