It was a great visit. Haven't gained ANY weight these past three weeks, which is really good. I don't know how I pulled it off, because baby went through a major growth spurt and my uterus is measuring 3 cm bigger than last time (now at 33 cm). Heartbeat was a strong 160 bpm, he was super acting and squirming everywhere! I also felt his head - my mw showed me how to feel for it. And he's still head down, thank god.

I also got my gestational diabetes test back, everything was looking REALLY good. Except my iron levels are dropping slightly, but still in the healthy range.

I'm soooo happy, can't believe I haven't gained weight though!

Im glad everything is going well! Isnt it nice to hear they are head down? I was so happy when I found that out!

I wish I could have an appt where I didnt gain any weight, or just one that I gained only what I was supposed to gain. Im at 35lbs now!!

Glad your visit went well

Oh lord yes, I'm terrified of csections so I am seriously DEPENDING on not having a breech baby. The idea of being in labour for an extended period of time but delivering vaginally with no pain meds is around ten times more appealing than being drugged out of my mind and having a quick csection.

Yeah, but the last time I'd gained 12 pounds in 8 weeks... Not good, not good at all! I'm also not sure how much I've gained in total over my pregnancy since I wasn't weighed until around 18 weeks!

Im sure your weight gain is fine. I gained 12lbs between my 20th and 24th week!! I almost died when I heard that. Then this last visit I swore I hadnt gained too much, I should have gained 2lbs and I gained 5! I sure hope it all comes off fast!!

Im with you about a C-Section, I really dont want one either. Im all for the epidural but no surgery!
