35 weeks!

It's sad to think these posts will be come to an end in the next 4 weeks for sure, but more on that later.


This week Eva is most likely a bit over 5lbs, which would be in line with the approximate 1/2 pound per week that she is supposed to be gaining during these last few weeks. She's also been doing for shifting, wiggling and nudging, versus the kicking she did earlier, but that is because she doesn't have a whole lot of room to move!


Now for the details - I had my 35 week checkup and all was well - Eva is head down and has a healthy heartrate of 152 bpm. However, since I've been having near daily Braxton Hicks contractions (some of which have been painful), my OB did an internal exam. I've dropped a little bit and I'm already 2cm dilated. This doesn't necessarily mean birth is imminent (I could have Eva today, or in 4 weeks), but because I'm already dilated, I will definitely be induced at 39 weeks if she doesn't show up by then.
