Today's doctor's appointment seemed to give me some idea of direction though.
I am once again measuring 2 weeks ahead for my fundal height ( pubic bone to top of my uterus).
This visit was with my normal midwife Cindy, whom I haven't seen in nearly 2 months.
It is funny how each midwife's demeanor is so very different. All 3 are very good. Cindy tends to be the one who is slower to worry. She said she was still planning my visits and ultrasounds based on my August due date and that everyone measures ahead and ultrasound measurements can be off.
However, after that, she did the exam and she did say that the baby felt large when she was pushing on my belly.
Today, we discussed my degenerative disc disease/osteoarthritis and how that may effect my options for pain medication or interventions, such as a c-section. Cindy scheduled a consult with the anethesiologist to discuss options before I go into labor. I highly appreciate having a consult before D Day, so I can wrap my head around my options.
I am also set up for a final ultrasound during the week of July 26th( the 38th week of my original due date) to get an idea about the size of the baby. This is pre-caution should the baby not have already arrived.
I am already guessing that should I continue to measure so far ahead and I have an appointment scheduled with one of the other midwives that the ultrasound date will get pushed up. I think I have it all figured out now.
For now, Baby and I are doing fine.
God is good and I am grateful!
