Had a doctor's appointment on Tuesday and it went...well. :) It went well for baby, for me it was a bit disappointing. I was checked internally for the first time and NOTHING - not even 1 cm! I am only 50% effaced but baby's head is down and the doctor could feel it. So he's definitely dropped, but he is not engaged yet. Now this really means nothing. There have been lots of women dilated 3 cm and they stay that way for 4 weeks and finally have to be induced. And then there's women like me who are told "a solid few weeks" yet but still have the baby early. So who knows! I just wanted to process to have started...and I guess it has in a small way, just not very much.
Baby is doing well otherwise, but I haven't gained any weight in 2 weeks. (I have been eating tons!) We asked the doctor and he didn't seem too worried, but said we'd keep an eye on it over the next few weeks. I know there's something with growth restriction, but I think that has to do more with the uterus not letting the baby grow than with the amount of weight gained.
Hope you're all doing well! I will post pics later on the amazing growing belly.
TTFN.
