30 weeks.
6-7 weeks until Small Monster could be born and considered full-term (I’ve heard varying times on that).
Seriously.
Tomorrow is the ultrasound… from everything I’ve read (and from comments from other folks here as well as in real life and on my pregnancy board), ultrasound measurement is notoriously bad this late in the pregnancy, so it’ll be interesting to see what happens.
Then again, my OB always seems to be pretty laid back about my pregnancy, while my midwife is the one who’s been the voice of doom the two times I’ve seen her in this pregnancy (first about how much weight I’d be allowed to gain, and now about the kid’s size), so who knows what to believe.
I guess I’ll just try to relax until I know more. I just really, really, don’t want to be marched down the path to a C-section unless it’s warranted. It’s not that I think that having a C-section makes me some sort of a lesser person – I just don’t want unnecessary surgery and all of the problems that go along with it, and it seems to me to be a bit early to worry…
Anyhow! Small Monster is doing well, making my belly move all the time and generally making himself known almost all the time. Only thing that sucks right now are the hormones – they’re really getting to me, and I know I’m short-tempered. Bah!
So, um, welcome to those weeks that start with 30… can’t be long now

I hear you about the hormones…week 30 was when I had big blowout with parents and boyfriend! But luckily it all blew over (at least for now) and things are looking up now at 31 weeks 3 days…Best of luck! Enjoying the bits and pieces I’ve read so far. Also looking to avoid a C-section if possible and go as natural as possible, but again, will go with flow…every situation different and no need to be a martyr either. Cheers
Wonderful to feel little one moving inside, is that not the coolest?
