I had my 33/34 week appointment today.
I am measuring 6 weeks bigger than I am supposed to. Which means I am measuring 40 weeks today.
I have lost 34 pounds this pregnancy. I need to be on special medication that treats hypothyroidism because my new OB doesn't know that this is typical for me.
I had an ultrasound today. The baby's left leg is stuck on the side of my pubic bone making it next to impossible for it to turn which means...it is breech.
I now have to have a procedure done to fix its leg and pray that it doesn't come out bowlegged because of this.
I knew it was head up because I can see its head coming out right under my rib cage. I look lopsided without any clothes on.
I get to go to a chiropractor to see if they can move it. Baby is measuring big as well.
They moved my due date up 8 days!
The next appointment is scheduled for the 20th, after I have taken the medication and seen the 3 specialists I need to see in order to find out if I get a VBAC or C/S.
I am not mad, just flustered and anxious.
In other news, the baby looks pretty cute, and everything else looks fantastic. I feel amazing and think that this might be the weirdest pregnancy I have ever had. No real complications the OB said just a fluke of positioning.
There, I have gotten that off my chest. I feel a lot better now.
