I asked my Ob If she would give me an ultrasound to see if the baby was on track with growth bc I had the Rny I just wanted to be sure he was growing right :)  I too have been having contractions like crazy sometimes Ill have them in my back for a few hours and they hurt really bad.. but then Ill take some tylenol and go to sleep and theyll be gone. but Im Dilated and I think that the baby has dropped already bc when he moves It feels like hes busting through " Down There" lol

Yes! I think that is the problem that most docs are not educated enough with gastric bypass. I recently went to a cardiologist and was told i need to add Gatorade and potato chips to my diet..umm thats completely opposite of what gastric bypass permits..so needless to say i called my surgeon to make sure that it was ok to listen because i was mad. LOL

My first baby I had ultrasounds all the time, this go around, I had the initial (10 wks) one, the 20 week ultrasound and one 3D which I did outside dr. office.  My dr. says everything is going well no need for one; however, we are considering one after next appt (I will be 35 weeks then) because my baby is not even thinking about being head down and is way up on my right side....if still there, she said they will consider one to look at her position, if she turns, we will just keep going.  My understanding is this is the norm, my first was an exception....

Just curious was there a reason for an ultrasound at 31 weeks??  I'm 34 weeks and no ultrsound since 20 weeks and my OB still hasn't done an internal exam or measured my belly so I have no idea how big my baby is or if anything is going on--but I sure am having lots of braxton hicks contractions!
