The test results from my GBS test came back negative!!! WOO HOO!!! I think that was really worrying me because if it came back positive then they would recommend antibiotics during labor which means being hooked up to an IV and taking drugs. There are alternatives to the antibiotics but I am so glad that I just don't have to deal with this at all now.
I gained 2 pounds which I think puts me at about +15 pounds for the whole pregnancy. I'm pretty pleased with myself, although I still have 3.5 weeks to go. For all those women who gained like 70 pounds in their pregnancies, I'm pretty sure you didn't start off as high as me, so you shouldn't be worried either. Even after I lose the pregnancy weight, I need to get back to exercising and lose about another 50 pounds on top of that.
My blood pressure was slightly elevated this time, which is strange since it has been so normal all along. I somewhat attribute this to being worried about the GBS test and just being overly anxious about everything. I'm going to keep an eye on it at home. Also, the nurse who took my BP this time was different than the normal nurse and she did it really quick, so maybe she didn't get an exact reading. Everything else at the appointment went fine and nothing else to really worry about - just wait now.
Noah's bag is packed and ready to go. Mine is somewhat packed, although I will have several last minute things to get together when the time comes. I would like to get the house more cleaned up and organized as well as make some freezer meals, so I definitely have enough stuff to occupy my time before he arrives. Otherwise, we are ready to go!
Tonight is our last Bradley class. It is bittersweet because I loved going to the class and learning about everything and it will be sad not to go anymore, but on the flipside, it means the baby will be here soon!!!! My next doc's appointment is next Wednesday. I will update again then or sooner if something happens!
