Fast, easy, and not much to report ... I lost a pound this week, putting me up 19-20 pounds total. My blood pressure was 118/60. Whatever they check in my pee was normal. The baby's heart rate was steady and in the 130s. And my fundal height was not as far behind as it usually is (36.5 cm), meaning that Carolyn may have had a growth spurt this week. Her head is down and very low in my pelvis. My doc did not do an internal exam because I have not felt a single contraction yet, and she does not poke and prod unless there is reason to. (Curiosity does not count.)
Before I left my appointment, she asked how I managed to not get a single stretch mark and to maintain such smooth skin on my belly; she wanted to reveal my secrets to the rest of her patients. My secret -- Cetaphil -- it is available at any drug store. This is what the dermatologist told me to use to control the hives. No other products have touched my skin during pregnancy. I use the cleanser, moisturizer, and cream.
