Re: 12 week check up (pg ment) to Adele

[Guest guest]

Hello Adele -

congrats on your pregnancy!

I wanted to respond to the part of your message about being BU and

carrying the baby on one side. Like you, in my first pregnancy I carried my

daughter completely on the right. I'm BU also and she remained in that corner of

my belly

and I was slightly lopsided but we laughed about it as my OB wasn't concerned

My daughter was born @ 34 weeks but after a scary L & D she turned out just

fine.

I am now 28 wks preg. and was told in my first ultrasound that this baby was

on the other side (left). I worried a bit but my new OB told me not to stress

about it.

Now entering the third tri, I feel movement EVERYWHERE & especially on the side

where he didn't start out so I wouldn't panic whatever the outcome is. My theory

is

that the uterus is much more stretched out now & he's finding it roomier on the

right

(where my daughter was). I'm measuring fine and hope to make it further along

this time.

I'm doing fine (no issues, PTL or complications) and hope your pregnancy

progresses

well also!

Take care!
