28/ 29 week Update

I haven't posted an update in a while.  I am 28 weeks along. I will be 29 weeks on Saturday. I went to the doctors last week and was told my cervix is mostly closed, what ever that means. I think it is like the glass is half full way of looking at it. I see my OB every two weeks and receive and ultrasound every 4 weeks. When I went at the beginning of January the baby was weighing in 2.4 pounds, right on target. I have been nesting like crazy, and we still do not have a name. My glucose test came back normal, which has never happened before :)  My iron was low so now my vitamins are 800 mcg folic, 2000 mcg b12, a multivitamin, 325mg of iron and 500 mg of C. I have gain 30 pounds, YIKES! My doctors do not seem to be concerned because my gain has slowed down considerably.  Oh and most importantly my c-section is scheduled for April 2nd at 9:30!  Only 10 weeks left and I will get to hold my brand new baby boy or girl! My kids can hardly stand the wait.

Sounds like everything is going very well!! Congrats!!!

yay congrats! SO glad that I am not the only one that is waiting to find out the gender :)

I'm glad to hear that things are well. I'm just curious as to when your actual due date is. I have to schedule a C section when the time comes too and was told they like to do it before the due date, but I wasn't sure how close to the due date.

I am due April 10th. My c-section will be at 38 weeks 6 days. This is my fifth pregnancy 4th going to term. They scheduled me that way because I always get very sick at the end of my pregnancies with high blood pressure. Also I tend to go fast and the hospital is 45 minutes away, so they want to make sure I have the baby at the hospital. My first two were vaginal deliveries and my last was a c-section, my doctors will not do vbacs. 

My hospital is also 45 minutes away. I had high blood pressure towards the end of my pregnancy with my daughter and they had to induce labor right at 37 weeks, ended up having a C section cause I couldn't push her out. I am too afraid to try a VBAC. I don't want to experience what I did last time. I am all for scheduling my C section
