32 Week Appt.
We just got back - since afterwards we went to see DH's dad in the Nursing Home, then took his mom out for dinner.
Anyway....Baby P is weighing in at 4lbs 6 oz. Expected weight at term is 7lbs and change. Baby is HEAD DOWN, facing my butt. Looks like s/he is ready to get out of there, lol!! Now I know why I feel all this movement in my upper right belly - its those tiny little feet!!
OB says I am at risk for complications because of my MTHFR issues but everything looks perfect. Not a lot of hair but hey, DH is bald so...
I go back in 2 weeks and will be monitored closely from now on because of the clotting issues. We'll change from Lovenox to Heparin at 36 weeks.
My OB is fine with my desire to have a natural childbirth and a doula, although we discussed the fact that we will do whatever we have to do for things to go well for the baby.
Overall I am really happy with my appt. today - even tho we still haven't seen baby's face!! LOL...

I am 32 weeks tomorrow... And no I can't believe it, lol!!
I told my Dr. I wanted to sit down with him in his office and discuss a few things - otherwise we would have been right out the door after the ultrasound.
Fortunately, the person who was upposed to come after me didn't show up....

Sounds like a great visit! What is MTHFR?
You asked -- here it goes...
MTHFR stands for Methylene-Tetra-Hydro-Folate-Reductase. MTHFR is an enzyme, which we all have in the cells of our body. It is needed to metabolize and get rid of homocysteine. High homocysteine levels are a risk factor for blood clots in the veins (DVT, PE) or arteries (heart attack, stroke, arteriosclerosis). Some people have a variant of this enzyme, which is called "thermolabile MTHFR" or C677T MTHFR. It is due to a single mutation of the MTHFR gene. This variant does not metabolize homocysteine as well as the normal MTHFR enzyme, and blood homocysteine levels in individuals with this variant enzyme may, therefore, be slightly higher than in individuals with the normal enzyme.
