I'm sorry so many ladies are stressed out in these final weeks of our pregnancies for various reasons. I hope everything works out for you guys.
I had my 36 week appointment yesterday. I had to do the strep B test... that was very unpleasant. Last time I was measuring ahead, this time, I was measuring right on schedule. I don't know why she grew less in this time period, but the midwife didn't seem to think anything of it. Her heart rate was excellent. She's head down and her head is engaged, but her back is to my back, so they want me to start doing exercises to try to get her to put her back to my front so I don't have to go through back labor. I feel really silly doing the exercises, one where I stick my hips high in the air with my chest low to the ground so gravity can do its work, and pelvic tilts. My husband really enjoys watching, though.
Apparently my midwives don't do internal checks. They say I could be dialated to a 3 now and it would tell them nothing about when I go into labor since I could be a 3 for weeks.
