baby is still "a good size" and i think i spotted him measuring at 36 weeks based on head/stomach circumference even though we are still at 33+ weeks. baby is estimated to be about 2.4kg which is a hefty 650g weight gain from 3 weeks ago! h was 2.4kg at the 35 week mark ... :0 i also put on close to 1.5kg to hit 70.0kg, the first time i am gaining weight at the recommended/normal pace. i think we have those 5 large packets of twister fries that i had in the past 3 weeks to thank. :p
doc also said my tummy was very compact given how big baby is. i am glad for that though, because it means i haven't had to buy much maternity clothes. never mind that everyone who knows something about pregnant women usually has a surprised look when i tell them how far along i am.
discussed options for delivery with both docs too, and i think c-section with epidural will be the way to go unless labour progresses super quickly. it probably poses the least risk to my bad back.
now we are just hanging in there until 39 weeks because that's when c-sections are usually scheduled to maximize baby's time in the womb. next appointment is in another 3 weeks' time ... thought it would be fortnightly from now on but apparently not!
