38 weeks, beginning of the end!




The end is slowly approaching and my hormones are really all over the place. On some days I wake up feeling like my pelvis is not attached to my body and on other days I feel like I could be running a marathon. I am still walking, squats and rolls on the exercise ball. It has helped getting him a little more engaged but I dont think that it has done anything for dilation. Its just as well, I am sure I am one of those women who will carry until a few days before or after 40 weeks.

37 weeks...Full Term, YAY!!!


We have made it to the magical 37 weeks. At 37 weeks most of the physiological developments in the baby are now complete and most babies do not require mandatory NICU time. Most babies born at 37 weeks have no complications and go home with no issues. So we are celebrating this milestone because it means that the baby is done cooking (I wish). Other sources cite 39 weeks as being full term and based on the doctor's appointment this week, looks like we will be making it to 39 weeks at the very least regardless of how miserable I am.
