Puglover, so exciting you get to go meet that baby! Mine has dropped lower in the last few days, I am getting lots of shooting cervical pain and tons of pressure on my bladder, too. Walking has become uncomfortable. My husband asked if it "meant" anything and I was like, yeah: that I'm in the last month of pregnancy!
Donna, I know how you feel. I feel so useless when it comes to being the wife/mom that I usually am. I am absolutely slowing down in many ways, which I think would be easier to take if I only had a week or so left of being pregnant. But I'm 36 weeks today and I have 4-6 weeks left and no patience for slowing down!
It's been a horrible 24 hours. Without getting into it too much, my oldest is showing a particular sign of what is likely an endocrine disorder. I emailed her doctor expecting reassurance, and instead got a message back telling me she'd ordered an X-ray and blood tests and I should bring her in for those asap. So I did that yesterday evening, and as she was sitting on my lap getting her blood drawn I noticed she had head lice. AGAIN. That's the third time in just over a year (and the second time in the last 6 weeks) she's had them. So after she had to go through all the stress and discomfort of getting the testing done, I had to do this long and uncomfortable lice treatment at home for her (not to mention checking the rest of us). She has very thick, very curly hair and you can imagine what it's like running a tiny little nit comb through it
Just an awful day, and now I have to wait for the results of her tests, which is absolutely excruciating. My blood pressure at my prenatal appointment was very high (for me - still not high enough for them to be concerned), and I knew it would be. I am so wound up. The best-case scenario is that she has this disorder, which is linked to PCOS later in life, along with insulin resistance and a host of other issues. And the scarier things they're screening for I don't even want to discuss. I'm just praying she's ok. I can hardly look at her without bursting into tears. Sometimes I feel like I'm just not cut out for this parenting gig - the worry part. It's unbearable at times.
It was, at least, wonderful to see my midwife and cry to her. We also got a beautiful ultrasound pic of baby's profile/nose, which I'll upload in the next post.
I'm sure your scan will be fine too. Most people seem to have growth scans these days, I'm the only person I know to have a baby recently and not have growth scans but I've been having extra scans for other things instead haha.
