Baby Update Week 35

Another week has past and another check up has come and gone without any problems. Yah!!
Still have to take it easy but all is well as of July 28th.

July 31st was a different story. After my weekly appointment on Monday I started feeling rather crappy - little sleep and a general "unwell" feeling. By Wednesday I was rotten and felt light headed, naseua, cramps in my tummy, and at bedtime I had a headache. Thursday morning I still didn't feel well and after consulting my support team - Jeff, Marlene and Grandma they all told me to call the Dr's office. So I did. I explained my symptoms to the nurse and she advised I go to the birthing unit to get checked out to be on the safe side. My concern was my blood pressure. I hadn't had a headache yet and they ask me each time I go so I figured my blood pressure was up or something. So I decided to take the nurse's advise and go to the hospital. Jeff's Mom came with me as I wasn't sure I could drive myself the way I was feeling. They hooked me up to the fetal monitor and checked my blood pressure every 15 mins. My blood pressure was only slightly elevated and went down the longer I was there. So that was good. Bumpkin was quiet at first. I don't think Bumpkin liked how Mommy was lying because as soon as I changed position Bumpkin moved like never before which is also good. After almost 2 hours the Dr came and said everything looked fine. By that time Jeff was with me too. What a relief!! I started to feel better after we left. I felt kinda silly afterwards but as the nurse said "better safe than sorry".

I have this feeling I'm going early so maybe that's another reason I felt I should go. I knew I wasn't in labour or anything but I did hear you feel really crappy before you go into labour so I guess i was a little worried about that too.
Whether its a "feeling" or "wishful thinking" only time will tell. Although my Grandma confirms how I feel. She thinks I'm having Bumpkin early too and I'd bet the Las Vegas odds that Gram's right. Now if she's only right about the girl.....

As I write this I have entered my 36th week so I'm considered full term by the end of this week and could go any day, so they say. My bag is packed all but last minute things so I'm ready to go.

28 days & counting......
