Big Baby to come?

Karch’s movement decreased over the weekend. Saturday night I started to worry and by Sunday evening my mind was thinking the worst. Today, I stared at the clock until it hit 9am and I could phone the OB office. They got me in immediately. My mind was put at ease when I got to see him during an ultrasound (my next one isn’t until week 32-34) and hear his heartbeat (140). Dr. G assured me I am not crazy by telling me that I am not feeling him as much because I have too much Amniotic Fluid in the womb- Polyhydramnios. Therefore, he is floating in his Olympic size pool instead of a Regular size pool. Karch has turned Breach, which isn’t a big deal at this point in pregnancy, but also another reason his movement has changed. During the ultrasound it was determined Karch is already 2 pounds- 80 percentile range. After finding out how big he is and that I have Polyhydramnios, Dr. G wants to start seeing me every week until we have a birthday. Next Wednesday 10/15 is my gestational diabetes appt. By the size of the baby and the extra fluid Dr. Garner thinks my GB test will be positive. We shall see…
