36 week update

I had my weekly nst this afternoon. Baby is doing fine, moving aroound like crazy! I was having pretty big contractions, about every 5-8 minutes....not all that painful, just tightening. The doctor asked if that was more than normal, but its hard to say since they don't hurt alot so I don't always notice them. But I wasn't in a ton of pain during labor until I got to about 7 cms.

The bigger concern is that my glucose numbers have been lower and I don't seem to need insulin for meals if I eat low carb. Before I needed insulin even when I was eating low carb. So the concern is that something is going on with the placenta, and/or getting ready to deliver. Since I am already 36 weeks it seems that it is ok if I go into labor, but she said it is too early to induce unless the baby seems stressed. She ended up doing an internal since I'm contracting and I am about 1 cm and she could feel the babies head. He wiggled when she did, which she said was good.

I have to do formal movement checks, 10 an hour 3x a day. And I go for another NST on Friday, then another on Tuesday.

So we'll see what happens! Still having contractions, I feel the tightening but pretty much the same. I'll let you know if anything changes!
