My Little Halloween Scare

At my 28 week appointment I was measuring only 26 weeks. Every visit now the doctor takes her measuring tape and starts at the bottom of my uterus and goes to the top. The belly is supposed to be in a certain range I suppose. She assured me that it was because I am long waisted and I just have a lot of room as to why we were measuring behind.

Thursday was my 30 week appointment and I measured 3 weeks behind. She decided to do an ultrasound to make sure my little Bumble B was growing like he is supposed to.

So Friday morning I went in bright and early. The tech said that Bumble B is lower than any baby she has seen in years and years. I thanked her because it's so frustrating to me that I feel him down there and no one believes me. People say "just wait til you drop". Well he already is dropped. He has no where else to go but OUT! We looked at his cuteness for a little bit and then she began her measurements. She said he is little at 2 pounds 11 ounces. I still don't know if this is little as in littler than a normal 30 weeker or little like 2 pounds is a little person. Then she made me wait for the Doctor.

I was planning on insisting on waiting to hear what she thought, but I don't thing I've been MADE to wait before. So what do I do? Oh yeah, you know it. Freak out. She checks on me once and says the doctor still wasn't there, but I had to wait because she HAD to show her the pictures.

Does that sound GOOD to anyone?

So I'm almost in tears in the waiting room all alone because now I am just wondering what is wrong with my baby, why is he little, what is going to happen.

Finally she comes out and says "okay everything looks good! She's happy, you can go!"


So yaaay Bumble B is fine. He's just curled up in a tiny ball as low as he can possibly get. Which equals no belly for me, because he's in my pelvis! I'm so sick and tired of people telling me I'm not eating enough and that I need to get bigger because I'm hurting the baby. I mean, they are straight out saying I'm a bad mom! I eat better than I ever have in my life. Unless you are with me 24/7, you wouldn't know that. It's really rude. Not only are these people criticising me for what I'm doing, they are calling my child inadequate. What makes people think it's okay to say mean things to others?

This is why I never commented at my 28 week appointment about measuring small because I hate arrogant and ignorant comments. But since everything is fine, I figured I'd come out with what has been going on in little baby Bumble B's world this past month!
