Default My 36 week Appt & U/S

I had my 36 week appointment and ultrasound yesterday! I was really excited about getting another ultrasound, but was a little disappointed when we didn't get any real good peeks at her! She's getting too big; I could hardly tell what anything we were looking at was until the u/s tech TOLD me what it was! LOL I would post the pics, but like I said, they weren't that great. Still fun to see her though!

Her estimated weight is 5 lbs 15 oz, which they said was kinda on the lower side. They said based on her measurements, she's only in the 50th percentile of other babies at her gestational age! She has long legs and a lot of hair on her head though! They told us that we might end up having a petite little thing with long legs! We are so surprised....since my husband is 6'6 and I'm 5'9....we thought we were gonna have a tank of a baby! Who knows, guess we will know for sure once she is born.

The bummer thing is that I tested + for GBS. I know it's not that big of a deal, but still....just another thing for me to worry about.

Next week, they're gonna start checking my cervix. If I'm progressing at all, my midwife says he'll strip my membranes. He told me this before I found out I tested + for GBS, so I'm not for sure if he's still planning on doing it. From what I've read, you shouldn't have your membranes stripped if you're GBS +.

I still haven't felt any contractions or BH, that I know of.....so who knows when this baby plans on coming!!

I had my membranes stripped when I was GBS+ with Aiden, did not hear anything about reasons not to have it done. Glad to hear you got to sneek another look at your baby before she arrives.

Sounds like a pretty good apt. How exciting to see her & get a weight estimate. You're getting close, Heidi!

ooooh I've heard HORROR stories about having your membranes stripped if you are gbs pos!! Definitely ask about that, my ob says "NO WAY"

I have an u/s on tuesday and I'll be 37wks. Their size measurements can be way off so it will be interesting to see when she's born...mine have always been pretty accurate. We are tall (dh 6'1 and me 5'11) and our babies are smaller than I'd expect them to be too...8lb11oz, 8lbs 7oz and 8lbs 4oz...

GL!

Sounds like a good appt! Hopefully the + GBS test doesn't cause any issues.

Thats so great you got to see your little girl on u/s! Im sorry about the GBS thing. Im sure everything will be ok. They just give you meds for it when you go in. If your water breaks or anything be sure to go right in.

Good appt! Glad you got to see her one last time before she's here! Sorry you tested GBS +, bummer. My baby's only in the 50th percentile too. I expected him to be a lot bigger, too. Good luck with the rest!

Glad you got to see your little one again. Sorry for the positive GBS....I have heard it’s really nothing to worry about as they will just give you antibiotics when labor starts to protect the baby.

GOOD LUCK at your next apt!!!!

Sounds like a great appointment. Sorry you had a hard time getting a good look at her, it does get tougher as they run out of room in there. And sounds like you got some good advice about the GBS thing. Sorry, I don't know that much about it. Time is flying by for you...you're almost there!!! Yayyyy!!!! Congrats.
