34 week OB appt.....baby is BIG!

Well, I have a big baby. I am 34 weeks and the ultrasound has him over the 90%ile and about 7lbs 6oz already. I know this could be a high estimate, but she said once they are over 90% that it doesn't matter......they are big.

My OB gave me a slip to repeat the 1hr glucose, but said it was up to me. I also had a NST (non stress test) test today (baby did fine) and will start going to the OB weekly and having weekly NST as well. I have a follow up U/S scheduled for 38 weeks.

I have a higher amount of fluid around the baby than normal, but my OB said it is typical of bigger babies. The only issue (if it doesn't resolve itself) with that will be if my water breaks, I would have to go to hospital right away due to the risk of the cord coming out first with the extra fluid.

Crud......this pregnancy has been so routine!
