Once again, I'm a little late in posting an update for week 34 (since I'll be 35 weeks in 2 days). Anyways, I went to see my regular OB/GYN on Friday and things are progessing well. The babies are doing good. My blood pressure is good and I don't have much swelling in the legs at all (except for at the end of a work day when my feet will get puffy...but nothing to be concerned about). My cervix was 1 cm dialated and 50% effaced.
I have an appointment with both of my doctors this coming Friday. First I'll see my regular OB/GYN at 12 and then my perinatologist at 1:40pm. The specialist will do an ultrasound to make a final determination on the babies' positions to see if Lizzie has moved head down like her brother so I can have a vaginal birth. If she's still transverse like she was last time, then c-section it is. Either way, we'll be determining a final date to schedule a c-section (or inducement). I'm pretty much done and physically miserable. Walking hurts, sleeping hurts, sitting hurts. I'm still having lots of Braxton Hicks contractions but nothing consistent or regular. On Saturday night, John and I were watching a movie and I had one and you could see this mound build on the top of my stomach...that was wierd.
We're getting so close and I'm getting pretty anxious. Can't wait to meet these little babies.
