Grads 12/9

We average once a week and if I was feeling better, it would be more. It's great!

Had my NST and placenta/fluid check, as well as my last cervix check (does this mean the end of the vag cam? dear god, I hope so!). Everything looked good, baby is fit as a fiddle and no change to my cervix, so hopefully she'll stay in until H arrives. She really is truly trying to bust out, though. Even the u/s doc was like 'wow, her head is super low in your pelvis!' Must research ways to turn baby breech, lol.

Trade you! My baby is apparently totally cozy lying horizontal. Which makes sense, because that's how I usually sleep too.

I thought your doctor supported your desire for an elective c-section? When does your husband arrive?

Haha, if only babies were like lunch snacks!

My doctor does support it, but she's a maternity GP, not an OB. She told me to speak to the OB at the hospital next time I have a consult (next week), so I'm expecting that even with her blessing I might have to fight for it, and may not win. Elective c-sections are rarely done here, mainly because doctors have to justify the extra cost to the province.

Great news loira!

I see. I'm sure you said this previously, but I didn't understand the relationships between the doctors the first time.

I just have to AW the babies from my ultrasound on Monday. Baby A (girl) on the left, Baby B (boy) on the right, from 32w1d. Sorry for the Instagram/FB repeat, can't help myself!

cactuscookie, no worries. I'm new to this system, so it's confusing for me, too.

We don't have sex very often but when we do it feels really great! So much better than non-pregnant sex.

I had my nutrition appointment this morning. There's only a few things to change & add to my diet. The few numbers I've taken after eating, even without following their recommendations, has been within range. Fx that means after awhile I can drop to testing just twice a day.

I also received a call from my Dr this morning. My quad results were messed up at my last appointment because they apparently didn't test it when I went the first time and had all the bloodwork done, they waited until I went for my 1 hr GTT so they are useless. Thankfully I've already had my level 2 ultrasound and it didn't pick up any of those potential abnormalities. Although I have to go for another scan because they want to watch the collection system at the kidneys. While they are still within the normal size they are on the upper end of normal. He didn't give me much information over the phone but I see him next week so I'll get more info then. It sounded like they just want to be overly cautious. I'll get a phone call in the next few days to get that scheduled.

We last had sex the day before ET because I read it could help the ivf to work. Then I was too nervous plus I was using progesterone supps, ew. And H has been on an extended business trip anyway. I'm ready now and he comes home this weekend, hubba hubba. lol
