My checkup has shortened to an interval of 2 weeks since my last visit at week 32. Today, we arrived about 20 minutes after the scheduled appointment because I was on the last slot. We still waited for a while, but it was not too bad! Just about 2 patients in front, though that was still about another half an hour of wait.
Dr first listened to the heartbeat, then checked the amniotic fluid level and said it was still good, and also estimated our baby's weight - 2.3kg. I was a little shocked at the 500g jump since our last checkup 2 weeks ago. My own weight was around 56.5kg, which I thought was still reasonable. At this rate of growth, she would be 3.3kg at 38 weeks?
She also told us that it was normal for me to carry this baby lower in the tummy because it was not my first child. (Several people kept asking if I was going to be due soon because my tummy looked pretty low already.)
Dr said since Ian came out at 37 weeks, there was a good chance that this baby would be out early too. But then, nobody could tell for sure at this stage. She also gave us the OK to watch a movie.
