38 week appointment

I had my 38 week appointment yesterday.....

My blood pressure was still good....

I measured 37 weeks.

No dilation.

My feet and ankles have started to swell a bit - so that is something I have to watch.

My doctor is off starting tomorrow through next Friday - she is getting married this weekend and then going on her honeymoon - so I won't see her again until my 40 week appointment. I do go back to the office next week to get my blood pressure, weight, etc. checked - but I won't be checked for dilation.

So - if I don't go into labor naturally before the 29th I'll be pregnant for 40 weeks for sure...Oh JOY! : )

38 week picture coming soon. Looks like it's a good thing that I have stickers for up to 42 weeks.........

  1. I hope you go into labor on your own. Since your not dilating they can't very well induce you. If you go over 40 weeks they may do the gel on your cervix to help thin it out and help dilate you. Maybe he is just waiting until your doctor is back. LOL
    I feel you on the whole swollen feet and ankles. Mine got so big I had "cankles". Make sure you rest alot with your feet propped up. It does help some.
