This is going to be a hot week for Baby Cugini news. Firstly, we have our final ultrasound, which will give us an idea of the baby's weight and will let us know if he's head down. I have not "seen" the baby since early September, so I'm really curious to see what he's doing in there. He's definitely wedged in there. It's similar to the feeling of having a jawbreaker lodged in your throat. But much bigger! And the baby moves. He's not kicking as much now as he is constantly maneuvering and wriggling into different positions.
I also have the delivery room visit with my prenatal class. That's if there is delivery room available and the ward isn't too crowded. I'm curious to see if there really is major overcrowding and laboring women lining the hallways. I then have a second appointment as part of my epidural evaluation and finally I have a gynecologist visit on Friday. I have something at the hospital pretty much every day except Monday.
As much as I am trying not to slip into the third trimester blues, I'm finding it hard. I had to spend this past week taking it as easy as possible as the dreaded pelvic cramps came back. My doctor put me on light bed rest for two days and an anti-spasmodic medicine. Basically, if I'm on my feet or walk for more than 20 minutes at a time, I start getting crampy down there. Sigh.
In any case, I'll report in on developments as they become available!
