35 week update

[Guest guest]

Hello!

Tomorrow I will be 35 weeks. We still have the

c-section planned for 9/5/01, so only about 3 1/2

weeks left!

I am feeling very good, *except* for very strong

rib/back discomfort on the right side. I can feel

's head there pressing on my ribs so I guess

that's the cause. It's quite painful and it only is

relieved by lying down on my left side (which I can't

exactly do during the day at work, so I mostly sit

there and think " ouch " ....LOL.)

does seem to be getting bigger - I feel her leg

movements very clearly and regularly on my left side

(her head, upper body, and the placenta is in my right

horn and her legs are in the left horn). Sometimes

when I am lying down or sleeping, she " bunches up " and

I get this very weird looking " hill " on top of my

pregnant belly! Wow. Then when I stand up I can feel

her moving away and my belly is smooth again.

Wednesday is our next U/S. We are hoping she has

surpassed 5 lbs. by now and that her head is shaped

OK.

I'm sorry for not responding to many posts these days;

because of the rib discomfort I am not spending a lot

of time on the PC at home. Please know that I am

thinking of you all and I am still reading, although

usually only once or twice a week.

Hope all are doing well. Please be thinking of us in

the next few weeks. I am very hopeful that I will be

popping in a few days after September 5th to post a

happy birth announcement!

Hugs,

Ula

Almost there!

EDD 9/16/01, c-section scheduled for 9/5/01

Ula ...

It's so nice to hear you and are doing well!! I was talking

with my mom today and I told her about this board and about how

amazing it is to follow along, week by week, these pregnancies. Thank

you so much for sharing it with us!
