Everything is fine and healthy. At my last visit 3 weeks ago her weight was estimated at 1.1kg, which was on the slightly small side of average. But yesterday her weight was estimated at 1.9kg, which is on the big side of average. So in 3 weeks that's pretty substantial weight gain, and if she carries on, then I'm definitely looking at a big baby again, and then I will almost definitely have a cesarean again. But this time it will be scheduled, instead of the traumatic emergency it was with Joshua, so at least it will be a much more positive experience. If she's looking to be about 3.6kg's then we'll probably do a trial of labour first (Joshua was 3.94kg's, and that was too big for me to do naturally) But we'll make the decision much closer to the time.
I thought I'd post the few photos I've had taken of me during this pregnancy, just for the record. For those who were around when I was pregnant with Joshua you'll remember that I was huge! I put on in total 17kg's (although I had really bad swelling, so I'll blame it on the water ;o) ) and it was just a really bad pregnancy in that way.
This time my weight gain has been substantially less! I'm 7 months now, and I've only put on 6.5kg's so far (although I've put on 1kg just in the last 2 weeks, but that will probably be how it goes for the rest of the time). With only a bit of discomfort I can still wear my pre-pregnancy jeans! I wore them last week, although that was probably the last time until after May...
So although there are still aches and pains, at least in some ways my body is handling this pregnancy a lot better, and I definitely feel better about myself.
4 months:
6 months:
7 months:
I just hope I don't do a sudden explosion! But who knows what the next 8 or 9 weeks will bring ;o)
