Had another OB appointment, now I go weekly until the end. Of course, I still haven't seen the doctor since she did an ultrasound the end of June to guess whether it was a boy or a girl. The NP said that she is putting it on my chart that I see Dr. G...I said to her that it would be nice to actually see the DOCTOR before the hospital room. Anyways....they did the Group B Strep swab today...very exciting. Next week they're going to check my iron again...I'm hoping it's just fine. Here's the stats from today:
*My blood pressure is 110/62 (doesn't that sound low...it's usually 115/75-ish)
*Total weight gain is 11 lbs
*Measuring exactly 36 weeks
*Baby is definitely moving southward, her head is right against my cervix
*Cervix is still thick, but approximately a fingertip (we all know that means absolutely nothing).
There's no reasons to believe I'll go early or anything like that...so 4 more weeks it is. The NP did ask about pressure/cramping/etc low in my abdomen...I said "Yes, sometimes it actually hurts a bit, but I figure it's just her pushing against my cervix". She seemed to think that it could be BH contraction. Who knows.

So glad to hear your appointment went well. You're in the home stretch now!
PS - thanks for the comment on my last post. When we tried DS with IUI's I felt so lonely. That definitely is the quieter side of infertility!
I can't believe you are soooo close now! Glad you had a good appointment.
Glad things are all going smoothly - we're both in the home stretch!
Wow 4 more weeks! I can hardly believe it.
Let the count down begin!
A low BP is normal. Don't forget you are compensating for 2 now. We teach this in paramedic school because many people think that preganat ladies are in shock with a low BP.
