I have been too busy to blog the past week with Thanksgiving so I thought I would just combine the weeks. I have been eating LOADS of sugar. Nathan and I have had a brown cow (cookies and cream ice cream with chocolate milk) almost every day of the week. I have had a lot of comments on how much I have grown in the past week so I will have to get pictures of week 33 up soon for the ultimate comparison. I think my sugar eating is really paying off on the weight gain.
I had an ultrasound and midwife appointment this week. I can finally say that I have passed my birth control weight.. It only took me till my 32 week but I finally did it by 2 pounds. I really really hate birth control and pregnancy has been a breeze compared to what I experienced on that unnatural drug.
My placenta was measured at the ultrasound and is only about 2.2cm away from my cervix. My midwife feels confident that I should be fine to deliver vaginally but I have a higher chance of possible bleeding. The worst that could happen is that I would have to have a C-section but at least I can try for a natural birth.
This picture was taken during a contraction so you can see just how round and tight my uterus gets.

Love the pictures! I am glad you are gaining wait. Brow cows sound yummy! We still need to have a get-together since we live so close.
ReplyDeleteWhat was the story about birth control weight? Did you gain lots of weight on birthcontrol?
That picture of you holding your belly is a bit freaky I am not going to lie. Haha so much for the no sugar I love it! I love seeing my cute little prego sister. You are my hero. Keep enjoying your sugar for the "weight gain" ;) Love ya.
ReplyDeleteRachel I would LOVE to get together! My last day of work is the end of this month so I will be completely free after that :)
ReplyDeleteSo I gained almost 20 pounds on birth control. I think it was all water weight! It took me just over a month to lose it once I went off it. Apparently gaining weight is no longer a side affect of birth control but somehow I managed to gain A BUNCH lol! Also, my wedding ring only fit while I was on it too. I still have to wear a ring sizer to have it fit now.
That is crazy! I had a friend who had a similar reaction to birth control. I am glad it came back off right away. Let me know when you quit!
