Midwife Visit Week 37

Apr 02, 2003 18:16

Our visit today went well. Relatively uneventful. I've lost a pound and my BP is 120/80. That's high for me but not high at all in general. The Raspberry Leaf Tea I've been drinking is known to raise BP slightly so it could just be that. Nothing to worry about ( Read more... )

Iggy says "Yes! Come out and play!"

Hey, at least it's the beginning of the end. It sounds like your body's definitely gearing up for the big show.

-2 station is actually *less* dropped than -1. Still nice and engaged. =)

OK you big dork, yes technically -2 is a smaller number than -1 so "less" but you know what they mean :P

Re: ignu2k April 3 2003, 06:53:47 UTC

No, I mean that the baby being at a -2 station is higher in your pelvis than the baby being at a -1 station.

Not that it matters - Alex was at a -2 practically until I was pushing. =)

That's not at all how it's been explained to me by the midwives...the positive numbers are higher and the negative numbers lower in your pelvis. So -4 is the lowest. But I just looked in my Penny Simkin book and you're totally right. That's weird because the baby was at -1 last week...

Maybe I misunderstood something.

Glad to hear everything is right on track! And maybe your midwife meant +1 instead of -1 to begin with... *shrugs* couldve been anything... but really, you wont be preggo forever so it probably really doesnt matter too much at this point ;)
Swimming sounds like a good idea! And thank you so much for recommending that yogo video, it's great!
