Thread: 34 week appointment

Went good blood pressure and weight were good. Some sugar in my urine again but not a lot and probably caused by my OJ for breakfast. Measuring on target. Got an us to check position andbhes head down!! I don't give much weight to late ultrasound measurements but they claim he's a bit over 5 lbs and in the 42nd percentile. I'm 34wks today according to lmp, 34 wks 2 days according to o date and he's measuring 33wks 4days. So smaller side of average which is right where I want him lol

Yay for a great appointment! My position and weight u/s is next week. Never had one before, but I have heard that the measurements can be extremely off. Still looking forward to an estimate though.

Glad your appt went well. My OB's office won't even tell you the estimated weight this late in the game. They said they have found that it just isn't accurate. It's always fun to get a peek at your LO though.

Congrats on a good appointment! Glad to hear baby is head down!

Yay for a good appt!

They can be. The *only* reason that I'm not just TOTALLY throwing the measurements out of the window this time is that they're semi-on-target and if he gains at the normal 1/2 pound/week from now till 40 weeks, he'll be between 7 1/2 and 8 lbs. DD was 7 lbs 13 oz when born.

So I wasn't told I was having a HUUUUUUGE baby (like last time) or a TEEEEEEENY tiny baby, and my amniotic fluid levels were right on target. (So many times they are off on the amniotic fluid measurements too and get all worried for nothing.)
