Week 34 of Pregnancy

I had a check-up with my Dr. today. As of Friday I'll be 34 weeks along. It was a great Dr. appointment. It started out with me learning that I had lost 4 lbs! Woo Hoo! Now, I had no idea that women could or did lost weight at the end of the pregnancy. However, I found out that while not common with every pregnancy, some women do lose weight at the end. It's one of the signs that a woman's body is preparing itself for the delivery of the baby. I've never lost weight at the end, only the beginning, so this was interesting to find out and made me excited! So, if that's what going to happen then, I don't mind my body preparing whatsoever, ha ha! I'm measuring 4 1/2 weeks ahead of schedule, which is very normal for me. The Dr. felt around my belly for the baby and discovered the butt and head of our baby is positioned just as it should be, with the head down. The heart rate was at 144 today. Everything is looking great for the baby and I!!!! The Dr. did put me on a z-pack today for the sickness I just can't kick. I was a little concerned because I've always been told nothing can be done. Turns out, where I've been sick so long, the chances of me going into early labor are much higher if my body continues to carry this infection and sickness around inside. So, he's hoping the z-pack will kick this junk out of my system and help me to get better so I don't go into early labor. My next appointment is in 2 weeks!
