Our last office visit was 3/25 ... everything is still moving right along. We got to hear her heartbeat again ... she was in the 150s. She measured the belly again and set us up for our next appointment. Over the past week I've started to feel our little girl with the hiccups ... its a crazy feeling! Our 34 week appointment is tomorrow, 4/8.
34 week update from the weekly email:
Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds (like your average cantaloupe) and is almost 18 inches long. Her fat layers — which she'll need to regulate her body temperature once she's born — are filling her out, making her rounder. Her skin is also smoother than ever. Her central nervous system is maturing and her lungs are continuing to mature as well. If you've been nervous about preterm labor, you'll be happy to know that babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine. They may need a short stay in the neonatal nursery and may have a few short-term health issues, but in the long run, they usually do as well as full-term babies.
