Update on 36-week scan and Strep B test

[Ani]

So here is the update on my baby boy:

- Baby now weighs 2.5 kilos (5.5 pounds) and the doctor estimates that he will be 3 kilos (6.6 pounds) when he is born. I am a little shocked at this to be honest as it is smaller than I expected.

- He is starting to engage, which explains the pressure I have been feeling. The doctor estimates that he will be fully engaged in 2 weeks time. Does this mean I could have him in 2 weeks??

- I have put on 1 kilo (2.2 pounds) per week since the last appointment!! I have put on 17 kilos (37.5 pounds) since my first appointment. A LOT!

- We have scan pics, a really good one of the soles of his two little feet. SO cute! I will get DH to FTP them for me tonight or tomorrow.

- And finally, my blood results were good – iron level has even gone up! And I do not have Strep B!

Two little soles of two little feet:

Yay for good blood results!!
I don't think engagement is an indication of when LO will arrive, they could be engaged for weeks before arriving and some don't engage until actual labour starts

Also I've just looked on a conversion chart on google and 3 kilos is 6lbs 6oz which is a really good weight, don't worry hun, sounds like your LO is growing just fine

It sounds as though everything is going along brilliantly.

I cant wait to see your scan pics, its such an amazing thing

Glad everything is going well. I think 6lb 6oz is a good weight too

Glad everything is well. I agree, 6lb 6oz is a lovely weight. Not too big and not too small!! I would like one of those please too!
