Pregnancy Update: 38 Weeks

As of my weekly OBGYN appointment this morning, this baby is showing no signs of leaving the womb any time soon.  Apparently, he is enjoying his current living situation even though there is not much more space for him to occupy.  I am starting to feel like my ribs are going to explode.  Plus, my hips are pretty sore and my waddling is really starting to look more like a duck than a human being.  Anyway, here are the stats as of this week's visit ... no real changes from last week.  Only weight gain and there is no more room to grow.  Ughhh ...

Projected Due Date: August 9th

Total Weight Gained: 23 pounds

Baby's Heartbeat: 148

Fundal Height Measurement: 38cm
Typically, it should match your current week of pregnancy.

Effacement Percentage: 50% (Same as last week)
This is how thin your cervix is.

Dilatation: 1-2 centimeters (It was the same last week)
How far your cervix has opened. 10 centimeters being the widest.

***Next update will be next Thursday, unless this little baby boy decides he would like to meet everyone sooner.
