Well the good news is, I'm still closed up like Fort Knox, no dilation which means I can leave at 36 weeks instead of 35 weeks. Now for the YIKES of it. Before my doctor took my fundal measurement he said "BIG" Gee thanks. After taking it, he said "Good" Than he proceeded to check MIa via ultrasound, and when he was finished, he said that she is measuring at around 4kg. For those that don't know the conversion, 4kg = 8.8 lbs. Right now at 34 weeks, with 6 weeks still left to go, Mia is weighing in at 8 lbs, AGAIN The good of it, and what I don't understand I haven't gained a single lb since the 7 weeks since I last got weighed, as a matter a fact, I lost 1kg (2.2 lbs). How is that even possible.

wow! Idk how it's possible. Did he say anything about taking her a little early? Even if they were off by a pound, that's still a big girl for 34 weeks

YIKES, BUT they told me Laila was going to be well over 10 lbs, and she wasnt even 8 lbs, so the U/S can be off. Either way she will be here before you know it!

I lost 3 lbs on bedrest~it does happen. They were so wrong about O's weight. They said she was over 8lbs @ 35 weeks. She came out as 7lb 4oz @ 39 weeks. Try not to stress about it. There can be alot of leeway between how they measure and what they weigh. Your getting pretty darn close! How exciting!!!

I guess my first appointment back in Canada should be quite interesting.

WOW I can't believe she is almost here!! Will the family go back with you? They were right on with Alyssa but my friend they told her, her baby was going to be 8lbs and she was barely 6

My dr said mothers intuition is a better gauge for size. So what do YOU think?

Posted by: mummy2girls Sep 14 2010, 11:01 AM

I'll be waiting at least a month to get her VISA to come to Russia.
