3cm

December 22nd, 2008 | Category: En español,pregnancy news

Last Thursday, we got some alarming news at our regular OB checkup. The baby was breech (feet down), and the doctor was also concerned that the baby was very large. She made me come back today for a followup. I am glad to report that the baby is head down and in birthing position AND I am 3cm dilated. Yikes!

I managed to avoid going for a sonogram to have the baby actually measured. Its not a good thing to have on record that you have a “large baby”. First, you don’t want to get psyched out that you can’t deliver the baby and secondly, you don’t want the doctor freaking out that you can’t deliver the baby. So I am glad to be in the dark.

She says I wont make it until the end of the week. Post your predictions of date/weight below!

El ultimo jueves tuvimos algunas noticias un poco preocupantes. El bebe estaba de pie, la doctora estaba también un poco preocupada porque el bebe es un poco grande. Así que nos hizo volver hoy para una visita de seguimiento. Podemos felizmente decir que el bebe esta ya cabeza abajo en posición de nacimiento, lo malo es que Janey esta 3cm dilatada.

No hemos tenido que ir a hacer una ecografía para que había programada  para medir al bebe. No es bueno tener en el expediente que el bebe es grande. Primero no quieres empezar a pensar que no vas a poder tener al bebe y segundo, no quieres que el medico piense que no puedes tener el bebe. Contentos de que no lo sepa casi nadie.

La doctora dice que Janey no llegara al fin de semana. Podéis poner predicciones de día y peso abajo!!!

    Merry Christmas! I keep thinking that it will be January 3, but perhaps that’s power of suggestion ’cause you mentioned 3 cm dilated. So I’m going to stick with the “3″ theme and say the 30th of January. Can you all hold out that long? And also — what is it with the Aguero/Lee offspring and snow?!?! Will you never have a baby without lots of cold precipitation?
