The Dirt on Pregnancy Weblog

My last OB appointment went well. I only gained 2 pounds over the last month and my fundal height measured in at 32 weeks and I am 32 weeks along. So, the baby was probably sitting high in my midsection before when it was measuring 2 weeks bigger, but now has nestled his little head into my pelvis, where he should be. So I lost hope that the baby would have a reason to be 2 weeks early but I also lost the nightmare that the baby would be a 10 pounder. By touch, the doctor was 90% sure that the baby was head down. Based on the movement I feel, I’m 99% sure he is head down because I feel movement up high by my ribs which would be his feet, movement low and to either side by my belly which should be his arms and hands and then I feel slight, subtle movements right around my bladder which should be him turning his head. I think it is amazing that some people out there claim to never know that they are pregnant until they give birth. I feel my baby move ALL the time and can even make a determination on how he is situated based on the movements and there are women out there who think they just had “bad gas?” Come on!
