Today I learned that the reason I feel so big and uncomfortable is because my bay is HUGE! While doing the ultrasound the tech said,"The dates I have for you only put you at 31 weeks. Is that right?" I assured her I was only 31 weeks and she promptly told me the baby measured in at 35- 36 weeks. He is in the 90th percent for size right now.
Turns out he is also in a lot of fluid. It means I now have doctors orders to rest. With the bigger size and extra fluid my risk of preterm labor jumped. The up side is I will probably get two more ultrasounds before birth to keep track of his size. The down side is if he gets to big I may need a c-section. Although his sister was 8lbs 12oz and she didn't require a c-section. It is all in Gods hands and I trust what ever happens. Oh, babies heart looks fine this time around and they don't think there are any chromosomal abnormalities!
He is so cute!! Can't wait to see when he decides to make his debut! I am thinking soon!! :)
