37 Weeks
37 wks LMP (35 wks gestation).
The baby weighs approximately 6.30 lbs or 2859 grams and is approximately 19.13 inches or 48.6 cm long. This is the earliest date for full-term birth.
The baby settles in under my pelvis at this point. This process is called "lightening" which makes breathing a little easier for me but the baby's new position doesn't stop the kicking and punching. This is all according to pregnancy.org but...
Today at our midwife appointment after an unusual reading of the baby's heart rate, we did a non stress test and an ultrasound just to check in on the baby. After all that it was determined that the baby was fine and weighs in at approximately 7.9 pounds and is closer in size to a 38 and a half week baby instead of a 37 week baby. Even with the 37 cm which was measured.
My blood pressure was it's usual low self coming in at 96 over 60.
I am supposed to count each day and make sure that I have 6 movements in 2 hours.
Weekly appointments start now.
