8/31 Appointment

Yesterday I went to yet another doctor's appointment which are now being scheduled every two weeks. Last time my uterus measured at 27 cm but this time it has grown to a whopping 33 cm. Based on my reading, this is the average size of a 33 week baby! Dr. ordered an ultrasound for my next appointment to verify weight and growth. The very first words out of the doctor's mouth were, "now this doesn't necessarily mean you'll deliver early." Since no other information was really given, I decided to do a little research on my own (never a good idea!) Luckily, the diagnosis for measuring ahead are not that big of a deal, usually. It can mean baby is larger than expected, further along than originally thought, laying in a weird position, or high fluid levels. All of these seem extremely minor compared to some stories I've read. I'll keep you posted!
